How did you find JOY today?

It was after midnight last night, so that counts as today.

The boy and I watched It's A Wonderful Life.

An old friend from some time ago that I hadn't spoken to in ages phoned me. She had been abroad and did not have my info with her so it has been a long long time for sure. Was so very nice to hear her voice as we go way back and her call was unexpected. We will get together soon and chat about old times. Brought much joy to me this day.

Playing Christmas games with the boy. Also, baking.

My application to the lineage society "Settlers and Builders of Ohio" was probably accepted! It was "good to go", according to the genealogist I was working with.

A lineage society is a group whose members can trace their ancestry back to a place or event, such as the Mayflower, the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War. Most states have one for early settlers or pioneers, and the one I applied for was for settlers in Ohio by 1850. That's a lot of generations, so it was a lot of documents.

I'm quite proud of this, even if the genealogist offered a lot of suggestions for future attempts at other societies, and can't wait for a conference in May when they give out the new certificates.

A phone call with a very good friend this morning. I picked up the phone and she just said... "Giiiiirrrrrlllll" and we busted out laughing, knowing it was going to be a fun talk.

I painted my bedroom yellow. It's a little more yellow than I thought it would be but that's okay. It's cheery.

Today I did my orientation for a new, very promising job.

It’s a team that I’m excited to join and I’m looking forward to working this weekend.

I feel like finally everything is falling into place with work, school and returning to a place that feels like home …

It's a little chilly so I grabbed a pink hoodie of my Mom's. It brought a smile and maybe a tear, when I found a Kleenex in the pocket. Isn't what Mom's do??

Such Joy!
