Ten Things That Bring Me Joy….You?
Ten tiny or secret things that bring you joy is the hot topic this week on Monday Listicles. However I had an insane week and weekend so my post is being ripped off with just a quick list and a good bye!
1) I found one of those perfume samples in my Martha magazine and I’ve been rubbing it all over me and the girls so I can smell it all day. It’s some Polo stuff but holy moly is it incredible!
2) A good song esp one that takes me back to a really fun time
3) Observing people in a place where I should be peaceful…CHURCH. I notice something silly, to me anyway, and get the giggles. It makes me laugh the entire day that still, as a grown woman, I can’t be still and mature
4) A cold, cold bottle of Harp, Sierra Nevada or Sam on the first spring day
5) My girls are funny about bed. L takes 1000 books and reads until she falls asleep. H, on the other hand, typically falls right out however on the nights she doesn’t I could sit outside of her room forever listening to her. She screams and yells the most random things. It could be a conversation we had, a song; one night it was the entire narrative of Brown Bear. It is so stinkin’ awesome!
6) A crisp, clean, new calendar or journal
7) Mid-month when Martha, Body & Soul and Southern Living arrive. Eeeks!
8) My first cup of coffee in the morning
9) Smell of the Ocean and the sounds of her waves crashing
10) Rocking chairs and cozy blankets together
Join the others for some fun lists and add if you wish! I know I’ve missed many pleasures and I am super grateful that I had to narrow it down. Life is good! I hope my happys always outweigh my sads and the same for you!
Happy Monday!!!
PS after I reread what our quest was, I noticed none of these things are tiny and I’m not sure how much of a secret they are….oops…
It’s funny how some songs can just send you back in time…
its the best… I just love it!
Smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves…that’s a good one!
thanks! It really is!
Oooh.. number 9. I want to be there right now!
me too!
Hmmmmm….been wanting to find some new perfume so may have to go check the Polo counter out next time.
It’s a mens cologne hahaha
Even better!!! :O
haha I just found it, it’s called blue. My husband looked it up. WalMartfor $50 hahha He said if I sniffed him half as much as I sniffed my arm he’d be quit happy about that!
There is nothing as nice as the smell of the ocean. It just surrounds you.
That is so true Wayne.
So totally with you on #8. There is nothing quite as good as that very first cup in the morning.
I know! And now that I have mastered my perfect darkness and hint of cinnamon I can’t wait for the mornings!
#5 is my favorite. I love the little secret things families know about each other. Sweetness. Erin
so the best!
#3 – I heart this one. It wasn’t until I was in my thirties that I realized that I was never going to grow up – I just sometimes act like one. Mostly in important business meetings or when the kids are in deep doo-doo.
HA! I knew this would be the one you could relate to the most! And I am with you. People used to tell me it was time to grow up and I would say how do you mean? I live on my own, have degrees, own my home, pay my bills etc…So what exactly am I missing/????
My now 19 yo old was obsessed with Brown Bear Brown Bear from 18 mons on. I think we went through three or four copies. I completely agree with your observation on number 2. I hear a song and I’m immediately transported back some place fun. All great images on your list.
such a great book!
I forgot about the ocean – there is such peace and joy in the smells and sounds. And coffee, and blankets and rocking chairs sound absolutely lovely.
Love #1. That truly is a joy and I truly forgot about it. Going through magazines now….
rub that cologne samples on ya!
I’m pretty certain that no matter how old I get I will always maintain my sophomoric humor
That is a great trait my lady!
I see a martha theme here
Great happiness. I want to be like H and fall asleep right away!
ME TOO! ohhh and I love Martha. I just can’t get the theme I want and I’m terrible at it so it’s super frustrating.
