Small Things That Bring Joy

• ginger ale


• this song

• rainy days


• finding treasures in my mom's closet...and joyful memories in the midst of the pain (more on this soon)


• early early mornings spent with Jesus--the Healer of my weary soul


• mint lipgloss


• dreams of Scotland & my upcoming trip there


• dancing with my girls to silly songs


• these chips:

• hugs from my husband


• oranges almost ripe for picking in my backyard


• sunsets...and thoughts that maybe, just maybe Jesus asked my Mama to help Him paint them


• playing dress up with my girls


• my sister & dad and the comfort they bring me


• finally learning how to tie a scarf here


• guacamole


• friends that i can laugh with


• this quote:

"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." --G.K. Chesterton

• and this haiku that my friends wrote for me in response to above said quote :)
  

Cheese, cheese more puh-leeze
Havarti, Swiss, Cheddar, Brie
You're gouda to me.

• words that I identify with in the psalms about grief and hope


• date nights with my man


• browsing around home goods...my favorite store


• strawberry shortcake from road-side produce stands


• hope that dawns like the morning
