You are reading this "the day after," but I am writing several days before. I don't have a crystal ball but my intuition tells me that the Italy info meetings, JOY Luncheon, and Happiness Club all will be joyous and fun. (I did just re-read my contract with Brigg's Mansion: No nude dancing and no butterflies allowed. Gonna have to rethink my joy activities now. ;)

It's December already and it has been quite a year. So many of you write to say how you face life with a new attitude. (My heart jumps for joy!) Lois of Rockford faced surgery that would have her bedridden for weeks. She printed the well wishes that people sent so she could read and reflect on all the positive thoughts while in respite. She looked forward to movie marathons and bed picnics too!

Linda of Cherry Valley has health issues that prevent her from driving now. Instead of raging at the loss of independence, she says "Now I get to slow down, pause, be more intentional about time and needs, take more deep breaths and experience JOY!" Linda also says she re-reads the joy letter every day until next Friday rolls around. 

We can also be more light hearted. Jim of Woodridge: I do more crazy things now since reading your joy droppings. You inspire people to leave their personal "envelopes."

Let's hear for it doing crazy things AND being intentional. Set your intention to ENJOY this crazy month of December.  

Words to Ponder:

 Golf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life."
