hey, did you all know that july 1 is the first unofficial official joy rebel day?
no? really? neither did i until about an hour ago, when i came upon brandi's blog -- it's so fun, lots of really neat projects, cool giveaways and lovely photographs. one ongoing project that looks like so much fun is mission monday, whose goal is to help each of us get back to that playful side of ourselves. how cool is that?
but back to the new holiday: how do you celebrate joy rebel day? according to brandi, do things that make you feel joyful. what could be easier?
waaaait a second, what's a joy rebel anyway? well, in brandi's words:
"to me, being a joy rebel is not about being happy all the time, though happiness is a component of joy. Being a joy rebel means being your authentic self and making those life affirming choices that bring more joy into your life. It's also about having fun and being silly. It also means honoring all emotions. Having a bad day and making the choice to pound on a pillow and then take a bath if that's what you really need is about joy. It may not feel like it but I've realized that I can't fully feel joy if I don't fully feel the rest of it. But then, as a joy rebel, you get to decide what that means for you too."

What a wonderful find ladies!
I do so like this idea.
Joy is a rebellious thing, in that it is primal, much more so than happiness, and cannot be constrained or reasoned with. Choosing to live a joyful life is choosing to live beyond all the 'no-s' of our society.

I'm SO in!
