What brings you joy???

***Updated 4/29/23***



 I've been thinking lately about what brings me joy. We all go through trials in our lives and I believe that during the struggle we can find a blessing and joy.

 Here are a few things that bring me JOY:

  • My Lord as Savior is the foremost JOY in my life. If it wasn't for him giving me life and victory to fight the good fight, I don't know where I'd be today. Thank you, Lord!!





  • My husband Jay, is my greatest earthly joy. He makes me laugh at the dumbest things and he keeps me grounded. He's a wonderful father, grandfather, and provider and he's the love of my life. I'm glad he found me!

  • My children are a blessing and a joy, no matter how old they are, they will always be my babies.
  • My grandchildren are just the icing on the cake with a big old JOY on top. I love them to the moon and back. What's the saying, "If I had known grandchildren were this much fun I would have had them first".
  • My dog Baxter is a wonderful dog and brings great joy. You don't need therapy when you have a dog. They sit there and listen without judgment. Baxter is soft to the touch, fun to play with, and loves to be with me.
  • Birdwatching has become therapeutic and a great joy. I feed the birds in my front yard and as I sit on the front porch watching and listening to them I can only think about God's mighty creation and that He not only made them for Himself but for our enjoyment.
  • Chocolate is a great joy. I LOVE it!! It tastes so good and creamy. Oh to have a Snickers bar right about now.
  • The beach is a source of joy. Sitting on the beach or on the deck of the beach house has this calming effect.  I could go to sleep in the hammock under the beach chouse. There is a sense of peace and joy that comes over me when watching and listening to the ocean waves.

  • Gardening has become fun for me. The joy it brings me to see my flowers grow and the harvesting of my veggies is indescribable.

  • My husband bought me a water fountain for Mother’s Day a couple of years ago. It has a relaxing effect and sounds like a babbling brook in nature. Brings me JOY me every day. 


  • Trying a new restaurant: You never know what’s out there as far as different food unless you try a new restaurant and that always brings me joy. I love food 🥘 

  • Making a seafood boil: I have been making seafood boils for years now, especially on our beach trips. What brings me joy about this is my family loves it. Just the sounds and smiles on their faces bring me extreme joy.




I could go on and on about the joys in my life. How about you, what brings you joy? We'd love to know. Comment and share your joys!!

Keep it sassy!!

For just under $10 you can make them for your local shelter or food pantry. Kids get a kick out of helping and it also makes a great service project for scout groups and church ministry groups. Here's what you need to make a Birthday Cake Box: 9x13 Disposable aluminum foil pan with a lid, it's helpful to have the lid for packaging and delivering purposes. 1 box of cake mix, any flavor you like  1 can of lemon-lime soda (in case the recipient doesn’t have eggs or oil) Birthday candles You can add birthday napkins, candles, a banner, etc. Did you know that you can make a delicious cake out of nothing but a box of cake mix and a can of lemo

Product Review of Nature's Nectar Coconut Water

***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake. As we taste-tested the water, the decision was it wasn't good to just drink but we did, however, agree that it might make a great addition to making smoothies.  How about making this delicious smoothie:  Ingredients            Coconut water, regular or flavored 2 bananas 2 mangos 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Directions Fill ice trays with the coconut water and freeze until solid. Place the fruit, honey, and 12 to 14 coconut water-flavored ice cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
