Grandma always used to say, "Don't wish your life away." That was her response anytime I said, "I wish Christmas was here already," or, "I wish I was 16," or some other childhood wish where I wanted to flash forward in time to some event I was anticipating with excitement. This week I've found myself not only repeating Grandma's words to my excited children, but to other women too.

The Joy Project includes weekly Monday blog posts and Thursday videos on how to achieve more joy, peace and love this season -- and less stress and grief.
Most of Lott's pointers are simple and you could say down-right obvious; but then we all need those little reminders to keep things simple and our lives focused on what really matters. Otherwise, we end up wishing our lives away.
