Memories

Memories definitely bring Joy. Making memories, remembering memories, sharing and reminiscing about memories with loved ones are all opportunities to bring Joy for me.

Memories defined as “something remembered from the past”.

I have so many Memories from my childhood that bring Joy, particularly when I look at photos and the Memories come back to me. So many beautiful Memories with my Mum and Dad and brother and our pets. So many Memories bike riding and rollerskating and being in my neighbour’s pool and being in and out of my friends’ homes.

I also have so many Memories of going on holidays to Shoal Bay which were the best holidays.

And now I have so many Memories of my children – I am making sure I make beautiful Memories with my children and I take so many photos to capture these Memories. Every day I want to bring Joy to my family and capture the Joy of these Memories.

And I want my children to have all of these beautiful Memories too. I love looking on my phone to see all of the photos that capture these special moments.

Today we had the best time at the beach. We were all so Joyful, including our puppy. After being in the moment and enjoying the day, I loved coming home and sitting for a few minutes, looking at photos and remembering, enjoying the Memories, finding Joy in the Memories.

I Choose Joy

Today is Mother’s Day 2020 - I love being a Mum and I love celebrating special occasions with my beautiful family - I am blessed.

As a Mum there is so much to do and so much to get done. As a Mum I am on a Mission to be the best Mum I can be - this is what is most important to me. I do love the word Mission, defined as “an important goal or purpose that is accompanied by strong conviction”.

Today I am setting a simple Mission for the year ahead - to be Joyful or Joy Filled.

I love the word Joyful, defined as “experiencing, causing or showing Joy”. I also love the idea of Joy Filled - where the word Fill means “to make, to become full, to use empty space”, and Joy means “delight, pleasure, happiness” and to be filled with Joy means “to be extremely happy, content, to be delighted”.

I love when you feel Joy - it is felt in the heart - it lights you up and warms your heart and creates an imprint in our memory.

I will be actively choosing and pursuing Joy, and deliberating creating Joy to colour our days and nights.

I am making a commitment to write 100 posts over the next one year, two per week, as an opportunity to record my thoughts, insights, discoveries. This is my journey and I write these posts to be the best Mum I can be - it is not intended to give advice - it is my brave process and adventure, and this Blog is about keeping me accountable too.

I am actively going to pursue Joy Starters and be conscious of, and proactive with, the Joy Robbers. And I want to teach my children the importance of Joy too. I really want my children to be happy and Joyful, where each night as we go to sleep we are at peace.

I am hoping that when I reach Mother’s Day 2021, I will look back on the year and really feel that it was Joyful, and that in this process I learn new tips and tricks for my life.
