Chasing Joy

Flashback Friday: Christmas Eve

|

Happy Flashback Friday, Black Friday, and Belated Thanksgiving Joy Chasers.  I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.  Especially those of us who have a hard time with the holidays.  As I write this post it is Thanksgiving Day.  I am writing while waiting for my last side dish (stuffin muffins) to finish so that me and my mom can eat.  After dinner we are going to head out to Target to scope out the Black Friday scene.  Neither of us need anything but since it is the two of us it will be fun 🙂 

As I reflect on all that I am thankful for this year, this blog and the Chasing Joy community of Joy Chasers on Facebook and Twitter stands out amongst the things I am most thankful for.  This blog has been God’s blessing to me and a lifeline that pulled me out of so much grief and sorrow.  I am constantly encouraged and inspired by your comments, facebook posts, tweets, and emails.  I am Thankful for each and everyone of you. 

I am also thankful for Flashback Fridays which let us look back on past posts.  If you are new here is the deal.   Flashback Friday is a great way to re-discover our earlier works and discover some new blogs. Flashback Friday is where we Flashback to our older blog posts and give them new life through the power of the linky! Just pick out your link and add it below. You can link to any post you like the theme does not have to match my post. Feel free to post a link to your Flashback post on the Chasing Joy Facebook Page so more Joy Chasers can access it.

  1. Our Thanksgiving was spent with all our family and cousins…it was busy but delicious. 🙂 I have to agree though, this online family and friends we develop over time has been such a life saver. We're very lucky!

  5. Your Christmas post conjured up some childhood memories. Things certainly have changed since then.

    Lisa, I love the list of phrases you came up with for the FB timer! Somebody really should come up with one, given the amount of time people waste on FB and other social media platforms.

    I linked to a post that I wrote earlier this year because it has been an running theme this week–planning for next year. I've had conversations this week with people who didn't get it all done this year, were looking to find a way to get things done and avoid the last minute rush to get goals accomplished this time next year.

  6. I hope you a great Thanksgiving dinner with your Mom and had fun Black Friday shopping together!

    I linked up to a post I wrote last December, about a vision I had during a ritual a few years ago. I am eminently thankful for that vision, as it was really key in helping me pull myself out of a severe bout of depression, and gave me a tool for self-assessing my emotional state.

  7. The target was good. There was no line by the time we got there. It was crowded but very organized inside. They seemed to have everything people wanted. No shortages. I got about 95% of my Christmas Shopping done. We were leaving the store befor 12 o'clock.
