For those who read the comics, "The Family Circus" sometimes has son Billy be the fill-in. I am borrowing that notion and having my sons give some joy this new year.
Swiping some of their random Facebook posts:
There will be no more wars with guns and explosions, just pokes.
My spidey senses are tingling.
Vote for my momma. (Kelly note: I love when they call me that and I love how they spell it.)
I just heard from Tony the yodeling Shetland pony. He can't make it tonight, he's a little horse.
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.
Did you hear about the fire at the circus? It was in tents.
Silence is golden, duct tape is silver. (Kelly note: Don't get upset; I told him that one. I heard it on the radio.)
And this post from a pal of my sons:
Epperson= A fatal disease in which the patient believes that his/her head has been infested with small fairy-like creatures, resulting in complete insanity and death by bad dancing.
My point in this random silliness? It's good to be silly. I wish you a year of silly fun.
Words to Ponder:
"Not a shred evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious."

| What I like about ME | |
In your JOY Journal, record daily joy droppings, quotes that speak to you, books you want to read, movies you want see, songs that grab you, things you want to do, AND "Things I Like About Me." The greater your self-confidence and like of self, the greater your level of happiness. What I like about me...
* I laugh every day.
* I organized my recipes and may actually cook more this year.
* I have been wanting to try yoga and I signed up for a beginner class. First class proved how much of a beginner I am, and I am okay with that.

In my dream cottage in my mind, there is a fenced garden overflowing with flowers and pink roses. To enter, simply open the diva gate.
