JOY – A source or cause of keen pleasure or delight; something exceptionally festive or satisfying.
Welcome to the Saturday Blog Party! This week’s topic is Joy. This means we are looking for everything and anything on the topic! Share anything that talks about or in someway evokes joy for you, Old favorites or one of the latest posts, literally Everything and Anything on the topic are all welcome.
I’m going to start things off by
directing you to three posts I think speak beautifully on this topic.
Check them out and add your own finds in the linky below. Remember NEW and OLD posts by you and others are welcome, just tell us when you are sharing someone else’s work!
- simple specifics: Thanksgiving Thursday – This is a fabulous post by Amanda of Persistent Green. To be honest I could have randomly choose ANY of her posts for inclusion as her entire site is an extreme joy fest however since this Thankful Thursday post specifically asks us to “celebrate joy” it was a perfect choice to get this party started!
- Spiritual Practices: Joy – This is from one of my favorite sites Spirituality & Practice. The page gives an outline for considering JOY as a spiritual practice. I am including it here, in case you haven’t yet made it to the Joy Resource page, where I include it and many other great resources for encouraging joy right now in your life.
- The four stages of happiness: anticipate, savor, express, and reflect.– A fun and insightful post from another one of my favorite sites Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project.
Also, don’t forget clicking on the Joy Tab allows you to review all the great Bliss Habits posts on the topic!
Here are the ground rules for this party:
- Share NEW and OLD posts on the topic. This is your chance to share your favorite posts. If they fit the topic and you think we could benefit it doesn’t matter when you wrote it. Wisdom is timeless!
- Share your’s and other’s posts! Ran across a timely tidbit? Let us hear about it too! When sharing someone else’s posts please designate this by putting an *asterisk before the listing and please say submitted by using your name or blog name.
- Leave a comment after posting letting us know why you think the post is worth our time. We are building a knowledge library and your context makes it all the more valuable!
- Have Fun! I hope to make this party a fun and valuable addition to your weekend blog hopping.
Note: This link up list will stay active until NEXT Joy Week (October 10 start!) so feel free to add items ANY time until then. I will likely pick a guest feature from the collection so PLEASE don’t be shy about adding your best posts! If you don’t have a blog to share, photos, ETSY collections and essays are most welcome. Let me know if you need help linking them up!
I look forward to visiting all the treasures YOU add to the collection!
Outrageous Joy,
Kathy
P.S. Next week we will be “Speaking of Order” and looking for posts and places that will foster this Bliss Habit!
ORDER – Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
I included the link to my post.. “Enjoy” because the quote is sort of haunting to me.. There are times, if i really evaluate my feeling honestly, I dont feel like I’m worthy of joy (even though I know I am.) But joy as payment… hmmm…
Kathy, thank you so much for including my post! You are so sweet. I’m excited to get to know you better . . . since I already feel as if we could be kindred spirits. It only gets better.
Sending hugs your way. (P.S. I would LOVE to guest post for you. I’ll be in touch.)
I just had to add my FAVORITE joy post! Click on that one with the my daughter and the goat!
