I sure haven't been a very good blogger
lately. I told you in another post recently that
I started a new part-time job, and yes,
I am still in the new training stage.
It has kept me a little more tired than
usual, along with some health issues
that I've dealt with recently.
But I'm okay now, just have to get used to
the new changes in my schedule.
So please know that I haven't
forgotten YOU.
That would be impossible!!!!
Just bear with me and I will soon get
back into the groove.
I've always been a girl who loves variety and
new adventures, but as I get older,
along with learning something new seems
to come with it some stress.
But I have no doubt
that I will make it through to
the place I need to be to do this job
well-eventually!
In the meantime,
me and my new partner in crime at work
Traci,
(we do have fun together!)
decided that our
little office space needed
some happiness to greet us while we
were working away.
So my imagination, and paint brush went to
work and came up with this-
A SPLASH OF HAPPY
(sorry the photo I took is a bit blurry)
This is on a large canvas and sits right above and between both of our desks
"Happiness is a form of courage."
~Holbrook Jackson
"Cheerfulness is what greases the axles of the world.
Don't go through life creaking. "
~H.W. Byles
I have found out that sometimes you need
to come up with things that bring
you happiness! Even if it is just singing a tune
or listening to some music or taking a walk or even
building a snowman.
Or better yet,
finding a way to make
someone else happy
brings about a special joy that we
don't expect to get back ourselves.
But it returns to us in bushels anyway!
Here is my new co-worker Traci
YOU bring me happiness too.
Truely you do!
I love my bloggy friends.
Yes I do!
You have made known to me
the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in
your presence.'
your presence.'
(Acts 2:28)
So what splashes
your happy heart and
makes it smile?
I may want to join your party so
do tell your secret.
Splashing away,
do tell your secret.
Splashing away,

Love your splashes of joy, would make anyone smile. Of course we will hang in with you while you're working out the kinks, it was great to hear how things are going though :-) I've been blogging about what brings me joy, my family!
Hi Lee Ann! I love this piece. How could it not put a smile on your faces when you walk in and catch a glimpse of bursting color!!
It's easy to make most of the stuff we do a bit more enjoyable...like using a great pen when we have to write notes. Or when I sit down to read, lighting a candle, maybe a fire if it's cold. Using a favorite, beautiful mug for coffee. Using pretty towels to dry dishes.
Sometimes just a touch of something special makes the moments a bit more enjoyable. Oh and getting a new perfume or lipstick always brightens my day. Hmmm, in looking over what I wrote I see I have covered most of my senses...sight, smell, feel...interesting.
OMG! those pics are just beautiful! and sooo "cheery". Just look at that Talent bursting with J~O~Y! I just love your posts, for they bring such beauty! God~ has just Blessed you so! Blessings to you for a JOB well done. Have a great Thursday:)
Well reading your comments always makes me happy...so I'd have to say YOU:) Lovin' the artwork. That's a nice perk of your new job. Really adds a splash of color:)
It's always good when you are able to pop in; I know you are busy getting adjusted to your new job.....
This picture is incredible; you can't help but smile when you see it....I bet everyone in your office will want one.......
Glances at pictures of my family while I am going about my business always brings a smile to my face and when Simon gets on the back of my chair and nussles makes me happy....A favorite mug for my tea...and hearing the sound of my cuckoo clock brings a sense of peace....
I am always so blessed when I visit you.....you always give us smiles and lots of good wisdom...
You are amazing.....
Love you girlfriend.........
