"J" is for Joy?

A to Z Challenge...
ABC's of My Life~

Jumping for joy…and dancing the jig!

Do you believe I still lie awake at night dreaming of book signings and devising ways to let the world recognize my book is being published? My mom inquired the other day if I’ve come down off my cloud or if I’m still jovial; no, I don’t suppose I have and yes, I am!

On the flip side of the exhilaration, I have to give justice to my fears and apprehension. What if no one likes my book? What if no one wants to buy it? And worse yet, is the rejection of my book a rejection of me?

It is at this junction that these judgments joust for space in my head. However, in the intervening moments, I’ll persist to focus on the joy of the moment.

as when you go looking for your joy.”
