- Having a picnic at the job site with my husband and son, in the SUN!
- Watching Sam's droopy eyes in the car ride on the way home from said picnic, and then seeing them eventually close, and seeing his head bobbing around
- Taking my sleeping boy inside, all his body weight slumped on my shoulder - just like a rock!
- Smelling the roast I have in the oven, and realizing that I can put a roast in the oven! (I feel like my mom!)
- Anticipating the arrival of a good friend, and looking forward to a visit
- Reading an awesome book on the deck while my son sleeps
- Watching a bee go to my flowers, and not running from fear - just realizing it's just going about its day, like I am
- Learning some things about myself that I'd like to change, and learning that God wants to GENTLY bring me to a better place, just because he loves me and that's his nature
- Pulling more dandelions
- Listening to my newly tuned piano, and looking forward to not having to check if my chords are right because the piano sounds so bad
I always tease Kris (and by "tease", I sometimes mean "get mad at", too) for being a glass-half-empty person. But I am realizing that I am too. A few decibels quieter, but a pessimist, nonetheless. Sometimes it's nice just to be intentional about thinking about the good things. And to realize that life can be pretty great, when you stop scowling...

Hey I didn't know you were blogging, or if I did, I forgot...but I saw some links from your blog to mine, so I thought I would check it out! I like your joy list. :)
Yeah, I just started a bit ago. I don't really know how to "tell" people, and then I feel silly about that anyways. I figure it'll just get out when it needs to. I actually find it really therapeutic, putting my thoughts down. I'm glad you liked it! I always enjoy reading your blog. I get connected to a lot of good ones through Avey's!
