Many many years ago I read all Barbra Johnson's inspirational books.I liked Her idea of always having a joy box and if possible
a joy room,filled with things that bring you absolute joy.When the children were growing up I would keep many joy boxes;but when the girls all left FOR GOOD I've always had a joy room.Now for the last couple of years after our major down size I didn't have room for one.I can't take it any longer. I'm claiming our "office" my joy room.

Well done on reclaiming space for your 'Joy' room Denise. It is so important to have things that bring us joy around us/available to us in our daily lives. Our environment really does have a huge effect on our thoughts, feelings and overall health so I think it's a splendid idea to make a special space just for things that bring us joy.
It's so important to have a space, even a little corner, in which you can let out your creativity and just be! Great job Denise, hope you are well!

Neat idea...I'd forgotten that. Haven't read the books for years, but have them stashed somewhere. Thanks for the reminder and enjoy your room!
