Time has slipped away. I haven’t posted in this blog journal since February. I have, however, been recording my family’s JOY. I plan to share some of their entries along with some of my current entries. +AMDG+

Finding JOY in my life has been a call of mine for sometime. I’ve been recording my JOY for several years now, in efforts to grow a JOYfilled heart. It has been a much needed spiritual practice for me.
I have recently been renewed by friends, Ann and other bloggers.
Jenny at A Moment Captured and Melody at Blossoming Joy inspired me to step it up for Lent.
In order to undertake more seriously our journey towards Easter and prepare ourselves to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord – the most joyous and solemn feast of the entire liturgical year… ~ Pope Benedict XVI, 2011 Lenten Message (2)
Here is the JOY Journal that I made for my family. We’ve been entering our JOY each day after family prayer.

12- handwritten notes. i recently received a sweet consolation.
13- modern medicine. without it, papi and I would not be here.
14- accountability partner who unbeknown to her, has been a saving grace to me as I walk an old journey with a new fervor.
15- gregorian chant. it is peacefilled and leads me closer to Him.
16- a husband who humbly and lovingly leads me and the kids closer to our true home.
17- rose. a beautiful gift that was and continues to be a saving grace to dad and i.
18- dinner out with the entire family.
19- papi’s smile and excitement when he saw his food catch fire, right before his eyes.
20- dragonfly’s late night play hour.
