Joy

The other night my daughter and I were laughing at the things that annoy me.  To counter that I wrote a list of the things that do not annoy me, but rather, give me an immense amount of joy:


the smile and laughter of my children
my good friends
my dogs bathing each other
yella tapping her door bell
fresh morning air
feeling comfy
the smell of coffee in the morning
sunrise
sunset
birds
the opportunity to live in the Smokies
the opportunity to live in New Hampsha
the ocean
rivers, lakes, streams
sunshine
hugs
grands
puppies
the first snow
the last snow
bulbs popping up in the garden
figuring something out
not having to figure something out
and so much more...
