		<title>Today&#8217;s Little Joy: Gifts that Give</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year we made a real effort to minimize our investment at the mall and maximize our contribution to those less fortunate. Rather than spending a small fortune on gifts that will soon loose their luster, we&#8211; in honor of our parents&#8211; gave to a family of six who recently lost everything in a fire.

		<title>Today&#8217;s Little Joy: Choices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Choices. Every day is full of them. Hit snooze or rise and shine. Go to work or play hookie. Stick to my resolutions or dump them as quickly as I made them (if you see my post from January you&#8217;ll notice it&#8217;s the latter). Recently one of my daily inbox devotions spoke on the subject [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Little Joy: Fathers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Growing up I was without a doubt a Daddy&#8217;s girl. Daddy didn&#8217;t go too far without me in tow and today it&#8217;s heartwarming to see my little guy just as captivated by him. As I get older, I become even more aware of how fortunate I was growing up&#8211; to have a father who showed me unconditional [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who&#8217;s Spreading Joy: Colt McCoy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you not acquainted with college football, Colt McCoy is the star QB (that&#8217;s quarterback ladies) for the Texas Longhorns. Not only is Colt a handsome fellow and incredible athlete, but his character just as noteworthy. Unfortunately, last night Colt witnessed his team&#8217;s demise in the National Championship Game to the Alabama Crimson Tide from the sidelines. Colt was injured in the first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Little Joy: Resolutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Resolutions. I love making them&#8211; there&#8217;s just something empowering about it. Asserting myself. Showing resolve. Sporting strong will.  Unfortunately for most of us, these non-binding commitments are abandoned as quickly as they are fashioned. Loose weight. Get Fit. Eat right. Quit smoking (no worries Mom I don&#8217;t smoke). Work less. Relax more. I&#8217;m sure God has many a LOL [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Little Joy: Photo Cards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite things about Christmas time is being on the receiving end of so many beautiful photo Christmas cards. Those little smiling faces by way of mail bring joy to the side of my fridge! With all the running that goes into this season— the shopping, the wrapping, the baking, the cleaning, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who&#8217;s Spreading Joy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re surrounded by drama. It overwhelms us by way of the TV, radio and Internet. But among all the party crashing and &#8221;Cheetah Woods&#8221; scandals, there are certainly those doing their part to spread a little joy. Some contribute financially while others give of their time and talent. Whether the effort is valiant or just a small act of kindness, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today’s Little Joy: Thanksgiving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving. The topic is no doubt appropriate as we head into this fun-filled week of food, family and football (Go Gamecocks!). While it is fortunate for our caloric intake that this wonderful occasion only happens once a year, it’s unfortunate we don’t stop and smell the Starbucks each and every day. Recently, an inspiring woman [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Little Joy: Fresh Paint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Daddy once said, &#8221;Every old barn deserves a fresh coat of paint.&#8221; While I believe he was referring to women and the use of make-up in a sermon on marriage, he made a good point. We ladies do enjoy a good makeover every now and then, and our fellows rarely complain at the effort. In a similar fashion, there&#8217;s no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Little Joy: Good Health</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently my hubby enjoyed an extensive boys weekend and returned sans the Kate Spade bag I so subtly requested but with a soft teddy and the swine flu. After the nasty virus worked it&#8217;s way around our house, we also shared in the aftermath&#8212; the sicknesses that comes from a weakened immune system. It all serves as a friendly reminder to be thankful for all the [...]]]></description>
