Things That Bring Me Joy…

1. Picking up my son for that long drive home and him chatting away about this and that – the sound of his voice.

2. Driving into the yard – seeing “The boys” waiting for dinner and the nicker when they see those magical white buckets.

3. Kittens- so many kittens.

4. The mess of my house when I return from a business trip. 

5. Empty frozen pizza boxes and salad containers after said business trip – knowing that hubs actually ate a semi nutritious meal and not McD’s.

6. Brushing the mud off my “boys” knowing they  will roll in it again but having the satisfaction that they were clean for a few moments.

7. Grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. An all time favourite for everyone.

8. The smell of spring – the flowers – the bugs -it’s finally over.

9. Hubs telling me how much he missed me even though I was gone less than 48 hours.

10. The cats piling on my feet when I go to bed- I guess they missed me too.

11. The feeling I get every time I drive into my yard seeing my beautiful house and remembering how lucky we are to be here.

12. The co-workers who tell me how much they missed me when I am gone and the realisation that I have knowing they actually mean it.

13. My daughter calling me to ask me career advice and actually having an adult conversation about options and benefits and time lines.

14. My friends.

15. My family.

16. My life and how so very lucky I am.

17. Sharing a love for Bulk Barn with my son – we love our candy.

18. Nature.

19. Birds.

20. How fortunate I am.

I could go on and on I am sure.

Embrace life- you only go around once – make the most of it.
