{Day 132}

Dear wonderful readers,

Today is the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.  Going to be busy and fun!
So here are the quotes for the day on the topic of Joy:

Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.  ~Albert Einstein

I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for joy.  ~C. S. Lewis

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Note about this dress:  I think I need a different hem length…

Check out this UPDATE: $35,599.45 😀  Can we push it over to 600?  🙂

    That green is totally your color, and I like the hem length. It is graceful and becoming.

    BTW- I gave $50 a week or so ago and yesterday the Warm Blankets people sent me a receipt and a picture of three of the children. They are so precious! 3 adorable little face lit up with joy. I put it above my desk to remind me to pray for this ministry, but now I am starting to feel like I know them. Really neat.

      Thanks Grace! And thank you SO very much for donating. Such a gift to those sweet children. Yes Warm Blankets is a great! I’m glad you are feeling connected to the children. They are real. 🙂
