The "Why"

Well, I finally did it - I started a blog. After all of my hemming and hawing, I decided to take the plunge. I'm not sure who will read this but writing is never a waste of time so that's okay. Although I have lots of ideas for future blogs - ones which will require research, preparation and a lot of forethought, I guess the only thing I have in mind for my first post is to explain myself (a little).

Why this picture? This is Myrna Loy. She's an old movie actress from way back in the day. I have been told by different people that I look like her and since I can't find one decent picture of myself on this computer I decided to use hers. If I were photogenic, this might be what I look like.

Why the title "Endless Joy"? Besides the obvious - me, Joy, endlessly rambling on and on about every conceivable topic under the sun - it also goes a little deeper. Living up to my name can be quite a chore at times. ALWAYS having joy is, well, tough. Still, it's something I really strive for in my life and something I hope to focus on while writing this blog. I want to find joy in all situations, to be surprised at where it exists and to point it out at everyone else along the way.
