Op-Shopping

I love Op-Shopping. It definitely brings me Joy,

On the weekend my daughter and I quickly went into Vinnie’s and my daughter was excited to find cups with Coca-Cola and even though Coca-Cola does not bring me Joy, I knew my son would be excited too with these glasses. I actually love homewares from Vinnies and glad my daughter is introduced to the concept of second-hand too.

I love buying clothes second hand too. I feel like I am treasure hunting. Today I bought a yellow and white striped Country Road Dress for $20 and love it. I also bought a crochet top and love this too. I saw another tshirt I liked yet it was small and felt a bit snug.

I love buying clothes, washing them and then putting them in my wardrobe, ready to wear.

Joy joy joy! I love when I buy something that I love. Can’t wait to get back to the store for another look around, knowing I always walk out with something special. Op-Shopping fills me with Joy.

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.
