“Eating spicy pickles straight from the jar.”
My husband screws his nose up at my statement and I can’t help but laugh at his expression. Anything pickled is decidedly not his thing.
“Our down comforter on a cold night,” he counters.
“Ohhh, that’s a good one,” I say and then look him up and down. “You snuggling with me on a cold night.”
That one rewards me with a crinkle-the-eyes smile.
What earned me that grin?
We’re listing the things that bring us joy 🙂 I don’t know when this hairbrained idea hit me, but over the weekend I started fixating on all the little things in life that bring on delight, satisfaction, wonder, amusement, or a flash of happiness.
Joyful things.
Little things.
Things that are so easy to take for granted.
… when my baby hands me a mug of coffee in the morning.
… the excitement of buying a new book that I can’t wait to read.
… the cool crisp that nips your skin in the morning winter air. (Unless it’s as cold out as a cat that doesn’t want to be held… then screw it! Bring me the down comforter and the coffee!)
And did I mention the books? All the books. All the words. All the glorious love stories just waiting to be re-lived, one page at a time.
(Hopefully with coffee… and maybe a dash of whiskey. You know, to keep back the chill 😉)
If you have a list of the little things that bring you joy, hit “reply” to this email and share some love 😊 … I promise it will make you smile!

Warm Hugs and Happy Holidays!
