Overwhelmed With Joy

I have received one Christmas card so far this year and it's the best card I have ever received.  On the front, a photo of a dog that looks an awful lot like my boyfriend.  And inside, this message:  "May you be overwhelmed with joy this holiday season."

Overwhelmed With Joy!

Yes!

May everyone be overwhelmed with joy!

No matter what their circumstances.




Photo from the wrong season, considering Christmas is now only 17 (yikes!) days away and considering that everything is white outside right now (in Colorado, anyway).  But joy is joy at all times of the year!

  3. I'll be over shortly, Nick!

    Me, too, Thomas. What a concept! We get overwhelmed by so many things, but it seems we are rarely overwhelmed with joy, even though we are surrounded by reasons to be joyful.

    Dancing, How are you???

  5. I didn't even notice the 'wrong season.' I only noticed the Joy.

  6. Sending healing thoughts, Dancing.

    I don't know if it was your birthday or someone else's, but I'm glad that you were able to get up for the occasion. If it was yours, I'm sending you good wishes for your upcoming year. Heck, if it wasn't your birthday, I'm still sending good wishes for your upcoming year! :-)

    As for those Joy lenses .... everyone should have a pair. (Even one would be good)
