You Capture – JOY

April 30, 2009 by Elaine

When I was growing up we had a tattered little book that I assume originally belonged to my brothers (in other words, was around since the early ’60’s). It was a Peanuts book called “Happiness Is…” wherein it included several pages of what Charlie Brown and his friends felt “happiness” was all about.

So, I’m approaching this week’s You Capture post with similar flair.

JOY
is…

Smiling boys (one with CRAZY hair!).

A bowl full of fresh, ripe berries.

Pretty spring blooms.


Please visit Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry for more You Capture entries. You won’t be sorry!
