Yesterday I decided to take a hiatus from FB because my newsfeed was getting me down to much. When I made a status letting people know, my friend Yvette suggested I create a Joy Inventory FB page. I don't know why I never thought about it before, but I love the idea! I checked and it didn't already exist, so I made one: Facebook.com/TheJoyInventory
I still disabled my account just to get a break, but I made Clara's account an admin so I could upload things to the FB page anyway. In the last two days I've made lists of new joys to get pics of and worked on better pics of old joys I added long ago, and the whole thing has been so enjoyable and fun. It's a creative outlet and it really focuses me on the good things in my life. I'm grateful to Yvette for coming up with the idea, because having it as a page just amplifies the whole process.
Now, in addition to posting pictures of things I like, I can add videos that make me happy and link to news or anything on the internet that gives me joy. My hope is that it gains followers and other people start posting their own idiosyncratic joys as well. It got about 100 followers in the first day because of me and my friends inviting our friends, so it already has enough people to feel worth it, but the more the merrier. But, really, even if no one else followed it, I enjoy doing it and having a more public place to, well, inventory my joys. Hooray!
