Joy: (noun) a source of great pleasure

Things that bring me joy...

Sweet, thoughtful text messages...just because.
An adventurous heart.
An empty garden patch and a basket full of seeds.
Friends that drop by with friendship dough.
Poems that say "Read me again!"
Hearing my kids sing when they think no one is listening.
The scent of lavender blooming.
A hug from Earl.
Fresh strawberries.
Spontaneous phone calls: "Hey mom, do you want a coffee?"

We are each blessed uniquely and completely.
Please share some of your joys,
together we will sing our praises ~

Lovingly ...
