There is the Allergic to the letter E Challenge from Saadia Peerzada

First, here are the rules for this challenge:

2) By reading this you are already signed up.
3) Challenge at least five bloggers to do the challenge. They must do it within 24 hours or it is considered as failure.
4) If you fail or pass, suffer in the Page of Lame. (Here I lay)

     -Today I will bring joy to all that I may approach and all that I may touch. For this instant and that of my day, I will confront disapproval with a bright outlook of happy and joyous acts. May I find support within my soul to touch individuals with a similar disposition, to grant vigor and provisions in all supporting forms found most crucial in my pursuit.-

Karen from Shade but no Shade honored me with the First Post Challenge

• Copy-paste, link, pingback or whatever way you want to, your first post.
• State what type of post that was. E.G. Introduction, Story, Poem
• Explain why that was your first post.
• Nominate 5 other bloggers. Five because I know the pain of opening a lot of tabs at once.

My 1st post … I long for a movement of positivity in the choices we make and not excuses to validate our poor decisions.  Happiness is indeed a choice, so why can we not fill our minds with light and through the power of suggestion pass on to others a movement of change.  We cannot control the full happenings in our daily lives, but we can send sunshine. http://wp.me/p50Xlw-9 

This my first introduction into the world of the internet as a writer with a dream to touch lives in a way we all seem to be connected.

My Topic – What gives me joy

What gives me joy are the simple things in life

Joy is always found in the smell of coffee first thing in the morning or any time of the day. The tingling of cold floorboards as you bound from your bed, warming yourself by the fire. It is the sun breaking through the clouds or possibly the darkness of approaching rain clouds blowing in off the ocean or mountaintop. Rustling sounds of the wind crackling through the trees brings me joy and to fall asleep listening to the chirping of crickets and croaks of frogs through an open window.

The laughter of my children is the tonic or cure all for everything in my life. The barrage of questions my granddaughter asks me in a continual cycle – this is joy.

Joy is found in tiny green seedlings as they burst through the soil and reach up to the light. Sunshine heals all things when your face is turned toward the sky touched by its warmth or wet by a rain shower. Joy is the heat of a mid-afternoon day and a water balloon thrown at your back. Joy is each and every breath granted; it is the spirit to be alive.

Joy can be a sip of water to quench a parched lip or a smile from a stranger. Joy is the unexpected hug from a child who has fully grown but remembers moments of gentleness when love was gifted in a daily fashion. Joy is the future of what life could be if we all joined in acts of encouragements and accepting acknowledgments embracing the differences we all share. Through joy and appreciation, we could hold hands combining forces to survive any storm and prevent many from occurring.

I love life. I find joy in what this day brings me if it is my darkest hour or my greatest achievement. I am the joy I allow and surround myself amongst.

324 Words/5 Minutes and a preposition and the end of my last sentence.
