A LITTLE JOY TODAY

Wildflowers at Mt Rainier 2007

Today is my son’s birthday. His 31st on this earth. I could write a long post about what I am missing and what I want to be different right now. I am not going to do that, I am going to focus on what I love right now. There is plenty, I just need to stop and let my mind wander about what is good in my world right now!

What are some things you are loving today? I want to see all the wonderful and good things coming out of this time of isolation and quarantine. 

Here is my list:

Getting out in the sun for my breaks away from working

Seeing the wildlife in the yard daily

Good coffee, I am a self-admitted coffee hoarder

Working from home

Clear skies, less smog

Walking around the neighborhood

Waving at people in the neighborhood that I have never seen before

Seeing all the dogs that I never knew lived near me

Getting outside within 5 minutes after work is over

Binging on shows and not feeling guilty

Giving myself a break on doing all the things I said I would do if I were home

Digging in the freezer to find treats, so far pumpkin roll from Thanksgiving and cheesecake bars from Christmas that still taste awesome

Not wearing a bra for a few days in a row

Getting creative with the food we have at home.

Doing Zoom calls with the grandkids, I promise to not take my time with the kids and grandkids for granted …ever

Wearing sweat pants to work

The sun

Sleeping in and getting a little extra sleep

My co-worker is my wife and we have lunch together sometimes

Quiet surroundings and hearing the birds sing and the neighborhood kids playing

Musicians on Facebook and Instagram entertaining us

Licorice

Chocolate

The mail and our mailman

I would love to hear what is bringing you joy today.  There is plenty.

Thanks for reading, be well friends!
