What brings me joy?
Actually, for me, it's now what but who. I never imagined that I would be taken on a virtual journey to Malaysia, Germany, South Carolina, Texas, Nebraska, California (although not necessarily virtual since I live here), Virginia, Alaska, Canada, Maine, Maryland....actually all over the world and meet so many friends who have tremendously touched my life.
I never realized how much a blog friend's story of dealing with a husband with cancer could affect me so profoundly.
I never realized that seeing a little one walk for the very first time on a vlog would cause me to cheer and hooray out loud.
I never expected to find courage in facing some of the obstacles that I've faced in my life time....yet, I have found courage and a voice because of precious blog friends across the world.
I found joy in crying tears of happiness as one blog friend said, "I do" to her best friend in the world.
I have shared my hopes and dreams and fears, failures and discoveries and in return, I've received love and support and encouragement.
I have found joy in a place I never thought possible...I found joy, everywhere!

Simone, that was beautiful and so well written. I think we can all relate to all those ups and downs we so generously share with one another. This blogging community of ours is full of the most giving, caring, honest and friendly people. I feel blessed to have been welcomed into such an outstanding circle of support.
How cool! I would so love to win that prize.
I just love how you have found your joy. I never in a million years would have expected to feel such a bond with virtual friends. Blogging is wonderful!
You rocked it girlfriend and do you know why? When you write, it comes from your soul.
Beautiful post, Simone. It is so wonderful how blogging has opened up our worlds and at the same has made it smaller. :)
Beautiful post and I agree with you my life is more complete than ever before.
Beautiful post. There are so many places to find joy. i too have found joy in the blogging community.
Just gettin' up in the morning gives me joy. I'm just a spastically happy kinda' of gal.
I loved your wonderfully written post. It is funny how very connected you become with your blogsisters. Caring, praying and supporting one another in our life's journey we definitely form bonds that was unexpected to me.
Have a super day, Simone!!!
Oh, you win! I don't think anyone could write a post on this subject more brilliantly than this one.
