The relationships. The good ones. Those people, places, and animals are the Joy of my life. It's very difficult to think about losing even one of them. I think that's why I've tried not to attend many funerals in my lifetime. I'd rather have my memories remain joyful. Not relegated to the past-- behind some horrid memory of black clothes and crying and lots of sniffing because NOBODY thinks to bring enough kleenex for the way your nose runs when you cry. I think life and the people in it are to be enjoyed.
So I decided that what I want to do right now is honor some of the joyful moments I've had in my life-- and thought to capture with a digital camera-- by posting random photos. I know not everyone wants their picture up here, and I know I'm not going to upload EVERY joyous moment I have on film... but I thought it would be something important that I could be happy to review later on-- a commemoration of Joy. (By the way, some of my favorite cousins have 'Joy' for their middle name. I love that about them!)
And since I cannot NOT figure out the formatting of the photos, they are in VERY random order. Sigh.

Your friendship is one of the joys in my life. Some days I don't think we could function without each other!
Me, too, Babe-- I just don't have any digital photos of you in my computer. ...Except that one from when we had to bleach out the closet in my first apartment so it was safe for clothes... And I know how much you love THAT photo! =) Thanks for helping-- with everything.
Joy is things that grow - friendships, flowers, heirloom tomato plants, puppies and kitties, giggles that can't stop, that pile of laundry in my closet... well, OK maybe it grows but it's certainly not joy :-P You have participated in and shared so much joy in my life. Thanks doll.
