Palmier

I definitely experience Joy from a Palmier. And it’s more than just the eating, it’s about the excitement of buying one and looking forward to eating it and then taking a photo and then enjoying this treat.

A Palmier defined as “a sweet crisp pastry shaped like a palm leaf”.

During lockdown there have been a few occasions where we have gone for a walk or my thoughtful husband has gone for a walk and bought me a Palmier.

A Palmier is not an everyday treat. If I had these everyday it would take away the sense of it being special.

The other day at work I was so super stressed and I was so happy to go for a walk with the family and so delighted when my hubby told me that we were on our way to get a Palmier. Joy!!! Exactly what I needed to cheer me up and feel loved after a tough day at work.

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.
