10 Joyful Moments in 2013

Where has the year gone?  It is hard to believe that in less than 30 days 2013 will be over.  Time has really flown.  The end of the year is often a time of reflection on what was accomplished over the last 12 months and what we hope to accomplish over the next 12. In this spirit and to have a little Wordless/Wordful Wednesday fun,  here are 10 of my favorite images from 2013.

This is definitely the best image I have ever created using the Picmonkey App!
I hope you all did have a great Thanksgiving!

I lost 11lbs this fall by eating more salads, less carbs, and doing more cardio and weight training. 

I learned how to make a pork loin.  Very tasty!!! 

I received an awesome shout out in my College's (Temple University) quarterly newsletter.

The 2nd Annual Joy of Giving Charity Event was awesome and collected over 250 items from the Charity's wish list.  I love love loved the I Am Chasing Joy Artwork that will be featured at all Chasing Joy Events.  

I had a fun time at the Macy's Clinton Kelly event and got some style advice!

I hosted 2 Chasing Joy Brunch and Learns.  It was really cool to connect with you guys in person.

I visited the American Cancer Society's Astrazeneca Hope Lodge Philadelphia.
I received a tour and learned about how they are helping cancer patients have a home away from home.

I made a fuss over my birthday and celebrated it with friends.  

Lastly I learned about my genetics and genealogy thanks to 23 and I!!!

This was just a sampling of the good things that happened this year. The great thing is the year is not over.  Often we feel like it is those big moments that make life joyful.  But it is really all of the little things that help us to smile and laugh each day.
What are some of your best moments of this year?  Did you capture them with an image?  If you did a Wordless/Wordful Wednesday post feel free to share a link to your post in the comments so I can check out your Images :-)
