A Bit More About My "Jots of Joy" Page

I've decided to do a bit more with my Jots of Joy page.  Besides writing down, each day, at least one thing, one event, that made me happy, I will also, from time to time, mention something that I like.

New Year's Resolutions

I've decided on my New Year's resolutions (only two) for 2013.
The first, which I've already started, is to make more frequent acts of Spiritual Communion.
The second is to read at least one classic a week.  It can be new to me, or it can be one I've read many, many times.   Children's books, such as Little Women,  Heidi, Pinocchio, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and the first two Pollyanna books DEFINITELY count.

Today's Homily - 2012-12- 17 - Fr. Anthony Mary MFVA - Advent Monday



A very comforting homily from Fr. Anthony, much needed
in the wake of the horrific events in Connecticut.

Great Picture of Fr. Miguel

I just had to share this picture of Fr. Miguel.  I hope that he'll share some more details in a future homily.

New Page

A couple of years ago, I decided to have a Jolly Book like Jamie's in Pollyanna Grows Up, as an extension of my Gratitude Attitude Game. (I did not, however, call it a Jolly Book.)  Well,  it didn't work out; writing things down doesn't work very well when one has dysgraphia.
Now, two years and a couple of months later, I've revived and revised that plan.  However, this time I'm doing it online, right here on this blog.  I've made a new page called "Jots of Joy," where I will jot down, every day, at least one good thing that happened that day, at least one thing, however small, that made me happy.  In fact, I think I will record mostly small things.  After all, the name of the page is "Jots of Joy!"

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
