My friend Jeanie sent me the link to this moment of joy this morning!
As I watched, I was in awe. A sudden joyful moment of happy entertainment in the middle of a busy day!
Would you have stopped to watch?
I hope you smile as you watch this video and I hope you remember today to take the time to experience joy-- wherever it presents itself!

Wake up call!
We had a real wake up experience Thursday night. The television and the internet went out. Totally. Now we have had this happen before, but this outage lasted way past bedtime.
I really got a kick out of watching the two of us adjust to the change in our normal routine. First I made a list -- what can I accomplish without the internet?
We sorted hubby's golf balls, went through a stack of papers on the kitchen table, laughed at our misery and addiction to electronics and went to bed very early!
It was really such a strange feeling. I do not think I watch much television, but I do use it for background noise, I guess. We listened to the radio Thursday night!
When I woke up the next morning, I flipped the tv on first thing-- I never do that! But I had to know if we were reconnected to the world. With relief, I realized we were alive again.
I continue to ponder this event. What a shock! I had no idea I was so addicted! I was surprised at how quickly my "head noise" and "self talk" cleared. I think I will have more tv and internet vacations in the future! While it is nice to be connected to the world 24/7, it is also very nice to take a break and just be!

Believe in Yourself
Our granddaughter was playing with her new birthday doll -- and I was sitting on the floor in her room, just watching, chatting, "being" whatever character she needed!
She asked, "Joan-Joan, do you want me to fix your hair in a ponytail?"
I said, "Oh, I think my hair is much too short for a ponytail!"
She replied, "Joan-Joan, if you want to try to something new, you have to believe in yourself!"
I was shocked - and of course, very pleased with her remark. It is a strong statement for a 7 year old! A very true statement, but very unusual for a little girl, I thought. Later, I asked her mom about it - "do you think she learned that from one of us, or is that school training?" We agreed that no matter where she learned that statement, or whether she understands it, we are delighted that she knows and believes those important words.
Besides grinning every time I think about this little event, I think there are some important lessons in it --
1. You never know what your child is hearing you say -- so be careful with those words!
2. Children understand much more than we think they do.
3. It's never too early to teach positive thought.
PS -- Yep! I ended up with a little 1" ponytail and butterfly baretts! I have never looked any more beautiful than I did at that moment, for sure! It sure felt pretty!

Grandma Joys
We are having so much fun with the grandchildren this week. Both children play on a "coach-pitch" baseball team, so there were two of those games - and our granddaughter missed both games because she was in dress rehearsals for her ballet, Hansel and Gretel.
Last night we took Zachary to his game, then to a couple of innings at the Winthrop University baseball game, and then to dinner at our favorite spot, the Dutch Mill! What fun!
Little Jessica was in her first performance last night - the family is attending the Sunday afternoon performance - so last night, son Randy took her to perform. They called on the way home and she was so excited! Jessica is almost 7 years old and of course, her mommy had her all made up for the show. She said, "Joan-Joan, I look like a grown up!" lol I said, "do you think I would recognize you?" She said, "No, I am very grown up." Delightful! Last night she felt like a princess. Her mom had bought her a t-shirt from the ballet and had it folded on her pillow with a ribbon around it when she got home. And of course her good daddy had flowers for her at the end of the show!
I am always touched by the love that surrounds these two children - how they bless our lives, for sure -- but I think of children who never hear those positive words of love, who are never encouraged, supported in their interests or boosted along the way. I am thankful that our grandchildren are so blessed.
Do you know a child you could sincerely compliment this week? Please do. The child may be desperate for positive words -- and your words could make such a huge difference.
Every child is special and every child deserves our support!
