Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Ok, I took the leap. The idea came up in this thread, and I decided to go ahead and do it. I'm hosting a Finding Joy carnivalon Wednesdays for the Easter season. If you'd like to participate, send me your posts, photos, etc. (you don't have to have a blog to participate) via the email address given in the link above OR pm me by Tuesday night, and I'll post them on Wednesday.

I know it's kind of short notice this week, but I'm hoping that it will be an ongoing carnival for at least a month. So if you can't make this one, maybe you can make next week's! (Or, if you're late, you can always leave me details for your post in my comments section and I'll work you in. )

Hope those of you in the Northeast are staying in out of the snow, rain, and wind today!

Great idea, Angela. Are you looking for posts on being joyful, how to be joyful, things that make us joyful, joyful experiences, what is joy, all of the above, none of the above???

Well, the idea really came about because I was/am looking for ways to bring joy into my life, especially in those times when "joy" seems to be hard to come by. But I would love to read posts on all of the above! (Especially from you, Marjorie.)

Angela, the Carnival looks great! My husband had the laptop yesterday so I didn't get a post to you, but thought I'd share what filled me with the most JOY yesterday...we found that Lost Easter Egg! No more thoughts of rotten sulfur eggs in the heat of mid-summer, hooray!

Bumping for the next Carnival of Joy... this Wednesday! Technically the deadline is Tuesday night... but if you're running late, just leave me a comment with the url to your post in it and I'll add you in.

You can send entries to aboord at nyNOSPAMcap.rr.com or just pm me. I'm looking forward to it! (And thanks to everyone who has already sent me an entry for week 2 )

I haven't gotten too many entries this time, so I'm just gently nudging again, in case you're like me and forgot it was Tuesday and had to rush to a therapy appointment.

The carnival will run tomorrow, but it's not too late to send me entries! Don't worry about getting them in by 7 PM tonight... any time is fine!
