Amazing!😍 What a great choice for your first guest essay! My motto is 'Choose Joy' because I believe happiness is dependent upon circumstances and JOY is a condition of the heart, and after reading this I will be on the lookout in the messy, the ridiculous and the quiet!💜
Marla, thanks!! Aw, I love those distinctions between happiness and joy so much! 😃 Here’s to finding messy, ridiculous, and quiet joy this week (and, who am I kidding — in my house there is always a side of very loud joy, too 🤪 💜)
I was grateful for the small, simple read. My own writing tends to be longer form and I seem not to have a capacity for long form at the moment. This article was the perfect bit of chocolate chip pancakes that this mama needed ♥️🥰
Small doses of goodness can add up to a whole lot over time and I’m glad I could bring a dose of joy for you! Thank you for your lovely comment that gave me a dose of joy too! ♥️
Amanda, I love this comment! A perfect bit of chocolate chip pancakes :) I'm so glad Melissa's words could give you a little bit of joy and love when you needed it.

Beautiful writing Melissa! It's amazing how our kids teach us the things that really matter just by doing what comes naturally to them.
Thank you, Emily! ☺️ Our kids teach us, or perhaps remind us, to LIVE!
This is so true! Thanks for reading, Emily! 😊
Beautiful - thank you.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment! I hope it helps you notice some more joy on your life!
Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Delphine! Melissa did write a beautiful story, didn't she?! I'm so glad you found it.
