For forty days now I've been making a concerted effort to choose life and joy. Some days have definitely been harder than others. When I woke this morning, it seemed that it was going to be a harder day, I didn't know what it might hold. But it was lovely, and here I am, showing up for the 40th time to celebrate life. And joy has begun to bubble within me, and it is oh so welcome here.
Today's daily 5:
- the birth of a baby daughter to some friends I've know for years
- hugs from friends I get to see rarely
- moments of victory, big and small, and being reminded that there is more strength within me than I know, thanks to Jesus
- a beautiful fall drive, filled with confirmations of purpose and life
- "I Surrender" by Kim Walker - a song I'd never heard before, playing at just the right moment for my heart.

So happy to read "lovely" was the word of the day! Was praying for you as I was working on art pieces and look forward to an update on the day when you have time to send me one :-)
Oh, and I totally forgot and had intended to split my blog update into 2 - then "unsplit" it - and so fixed the number after your email. LOL
And now I can't remember if I emailed or commented and told you, but Aya got her visa! Yeah God! I updated the blog but I think you were the only one who had read it at the point I found out, so can't remember if I really told you or just told you in my head! Hee hee!
hugs!
