Happy Royal Wedding Day.
After hobnobbing with William and Kate on Friday, I'll be jetting back here for my own nuptials on Sunday, May 1. We may join up with the young newlyweds for parts of our honeymoon. Or not.
I may not have royal blood or being marrying into aristocracy, but I do sometimes feel like a princess.
I have a favor. I ask you to send your energy and good vibes into the universe intending for a pleasant sunny day this Sunday. :) Thanks!
It will be wonderful no matter what. I just remembered: We create our own weather. :)
Words to Ponder:
I love.

What brings me JOY lately...
* Cards from well wishers
* My sons
* Family, mine, his, ours
* A book: "In Love in Italy"
* My Chakra Connection group. Thank you ladies!
* Last week I mentioned "della carta igienica = toilet paper" - I had no idea it would bring my joy again! The group who palled with me last year in Ireland threw a shower for us. One of the "games" was for our men to create wedding dresses on us in toilet paper. The day was such fun. Thank you!
Reminder: Send me your JOY! The compilation book will be little bits of joy and wisdom from me and YOU. Keep 'em coming. Deadline October 1. |

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...

| Testimonial | |
"Having recently experienced a painful (and, I later learned, chronic) back problem, I found myself in a funk of epoch proportions. Your newsletter and your gleeful words have helped me immensely. With your assistance and MY change of attitude I now know I am strong and will appreciate what I do have."
Peace and Love, Susan A.

| WORD NERD | |
marginalia \mahr-juh-NEY-lee-uh\, noun:
Notes in the margin of a book, manuscript, or letter.

I only use my kindle on airplanes because I need a real book to create my marginalia.
(This word also makes me think of sign I saw at the Denny's diner:
Baconalia - A Celebration of Bacon.)
