Joy…

I am a pretty simple person – I take joy in the simple things in life.

It’s list time folks – in no particular order.

1. Having the pipes that were previously frozen this morning preventing me from showering in MY bathroom – no longer frozen – thanks Hubs!!

2. Making dinner – I have a love hate relationship with cooking – so time consuming- so satisfying when plates are cleaned.

3. Cats – enough said.

4. The crunch of the snow under my feet on this night- it’s so quiet outside – the stars so bright you swear you can pick them from the sky – I do love winter nights like this.

5. My children and their continuous drama 🙂 – to my children – I promise – if you are struggling emotionally, financially, it will get better – I promise.

6. The appreciative nicker I get when my herd hears me crunching across the snow – FEEDING TIME!!! I like to think they are happy to see me – but I do control the food and they are starving doncha know!

7. The train whistle – in the distance – we have 23 trains go by our area every day- I have counted – it’s an eerie sound but so cool.

8. Fresh air – one of my favourite things about winter- no smog – no pollutions – just crisp clean air.

9. Hubs flat out on the couch – mouth wide open – snoring away – I guess dinner was good!

10. Cats – again with the cats!!! – I can’t help it – they are everywhere – outdoor cats integrated to indoor cats because it so cold.

11. Wine  – red or white – I don’t care- tonight a very nice Pinot Noir – exceptional.

12. Life – my life – our lives – life in general – call me crazy – yes I am glaringly aware that I am somewhat off my rocker – life is great.

13 My herd- I have made it no secret my favourite time of day is night feed. To sit and listen to the munching – to scratch that itchy blanket spot – to breath in the distinct aroma that is horse – ahhhh- joy!!!

Joy – it’s all around us – in the simple things – like mentioned above.

Find your joy! – I have!
