After dealing with many setbacks, losses, scares, pain, and disappointment over the last four years, I am finally getting my joy back.
Can you see my joy in any of these images?
The best way to get over someone
who uses their energy to destroy
is to build with joy.
Last night, while I was getting my joy back, I heard this old favorite, which always gives me joy.
In “Love is the Answer,” Todd Rundgren asks, “Are we alive or just a dying planet? What are the chances?”
With joy, love, hope, clear vision, trust, good enough leaders, and a commitment to the hard work ahead, we now have a chance.
I’m getting my joy back with gratitude, so thanks to all who help me create these daily posts, including YOU!

I feel it 💝 thank you Ann!
It brings me joy to connect with you, Val! ❤
Glad to hear that. You can retire your black marker on walks.
It’s retired and I’m joyful about that, also joyful to see you here, Maureen!
Found this by chance.
How wonderful this is, and now I’ve discovered a new singer thanks to you.
Your sharing this gives me such joy.
Yes! I can feel it. Hope you can feel mine flowing towards you from north of the 49th.
Love this sentiment – “The best way to get over someone
who uses their energy to destroy
is to build with joy.”
And thank you to Maureen for sharing that video. So moving and inspiring and touching. What a beautiful song.
Thanks for adding to the joy here, Louise.
Hi Ann – I am so glad you are feeling better about things!! It is going to be a wonderful day! I hope your day is filled with joy and happiness!
Thanks for filling my day with joy and happiness, SD!
So happy for you Ann.
Thank you, my joyful friend.
I’m glad you’re feeling more positive.
I’m positively joyful to see you here, Dawn.
Ann, please help me understand the meaning of the crab, and what is written on its mask? Thank you. I’m glad you are feeling more optimistic. Have a nice week-end.
I would be happy to do so — the crab is a door knocker I see on my walks, and “VOTE” is written on its mask. I’m always glad to see you here.
I’m glad you explained that, I perceived the crab to be on your table ahaha Thank you
“The best way to get over someone who uses their energy to destroy is to build with joy.“ oh, this is liquid gold. Thank you. 🙏🏻
You are most welcome, Kay, and it bring me joy to see this comment.
Those rocks give me joy because they’re people sharing messages with something that’s a fundamental part of our planet.
You rock, Chris, and the messages you share give me joy.
I see joy in every frame of this post. and I’m so glad your mojo is returning.
I see joy in you, beth! ❤

Little things can really lift me up. Your video from the Mike Douglas Show made me smile. I used to watch that religiously. LOL! I think we rally must reach for joy sometimes. It is easily robbed from us, but most of the time we can “get it back” with some reflection. I have felt depleted, but I can feel the joy, too. ❤
I loved the Mike Douglas show, Debra, so there’s something else we have in common, which gives me much joy.
