FIND YOUR JOY!                                               December 18, 2009
Tis the season to be joyful. 
Seriously.
You feeling joyful?
Hope so. 
 
 
If my calendar is correct, 2009 is just about gone.
 
 
Weren't we just fretting about the big deal of the year 2000 and wondering if the ATM machine was gonna work? My , how time flies.
 
As the year comes to a close, pause and thank the stars above for all that has gone well for you this year. For all that has not gone so well, let it go.
 
Letting go is the hardest thing we humans ever do.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Words to ponder:
 
God bless us, everyone.

Katie at Tenon Tours is waiting on your call.
Now that it is real and getting closer, I'm getting excited to go.
Eire, here we come.
 
 
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
 
 Why limit ourselves to just one time of the year? Why can't every day be the most wonderful time of the year?
 
 
 
 
Mama said there'd be days like this....
 
"If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all..."
 
 
Oh yes, we need a little Christmas (insert kindness) right this very minute.
 
Some of my faves:

For a giggle
 
 
 Just go to the mall and watch the kids and parents in line for Santa. Some are merry... some not so much.

WORD NERD
 
Euphony  (noun)

Pronunciation:  [yu'fon-i]

Definition: 1) Agreeableness of sound; agreeable pronunciation; arrangement of words in sentences so as to be pleasant to the ear. 2) That oral property of style that respects words merely as sounds.


Suggested Usage: Euphony is not restricted to pleasant sounding words. It covers all things that sound agreebable and are pleasant to the ear. Wind chimes to many are euphonious as is the sound of the ocean, the breeze through the trees, and a baby's giggle.
