Happy Monday! And I really mean it! Ugggggggh I have to work today, and actually that groaning and moaning would be my first instinct, but my second thought — the better thought — is to take joy. With the economy the way it is, I am so happy to have a job. And not just that, but to have a job where I can work from home and save on gas and the other things that come with working in an office. I really try to look at my work time as a meditation time where I plan out and look forward to what I am going to do with my free time.
That said, I had the opportunity to pop into Goodwill for just a few minutes this weekend. I had to run out and get a few grocery items and the local Goodwill is right on the way.
I cut off the names of the some of the titles. Sorry about that! However, I think you can see that I found several much-related-to-each-other books. I am very thrilled about this. We are studying The Raft
Here are the rest of the books I found. See the two Usborne books? I always love finding an Usborne to add to our bookshelves. We’ll be doing some reading this week!
Last of all is this very pretty, old lamp for $1.97. Yes, you read that right. I love the old switch that turns the lamp off and on.
That’s it. I did find some winter shirts, but they are in my laundry basket to be washed. And just so you know, I do donate regularly to our local thrift stores. It’s time, really, for me to do that again. Things are getting cluttered here, even by my standards. 
Think of something today that makes you joyful. I love the quotation that Tasha Tudor often shared:
The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet within our reach is joy. Take joy.
