May is for JOY!

Happy May, everyone!

I know I'm a day late and a dollar short,  but I have been busy and tackling my little ol ' illness with ferocity so, I give myself a "pass"...for now!
I have decided to declare May to be the month of JOY!
It has been a really long time since I have been able to feel truly "Joyful". I have been sick,  both physically and, well, mentally, for some time now and finally having a diagnosis (yeah!) and even better, yet, a treatment plan (WOO HOO!) is enough to make me jump for JOY!  Have any of you ever had a doctor...or in my case 3 doctors, tell you that there is NOTHING wrong with you, when you KNOW that there is? Frustrating, is putting mildly.
Anyway.....I am not going to dwell on the "lost time", but I am going to focus on the JOYFUL time that is to come!

I am reading the book of Philippians this month. I love how JOYFUL Paul is, when writing to the people of the church that he began prior to his incarceration. I mean, the man is in JAIL and he STILL is exuding JOY and LOVE for the Lord and the people he taught to follow Him.

My list of FAVORITE THINGS this month is a list of 50 things that BRING ME JOY! There will obviously be some repeats from month to month, but if you truly LOVE something, how could they NOT carry over? 
***to my husband: I am including some things that could  bring me Joy IF they were gifted to me, as well.  ;-)  hint hint...Mother's Day is in 8 days!♡♡♡
