Joy

I've been tagged to do this lovely meme about what give me joy...thanks T, it made me take the time and think about the things around me.


Ten things that bring me joy:

Laughing with my daughters

Connecting mentally with my husband

My horse Gunner - for those who don't know last year we had to make a decision whether to put him down or save his life knowing he might never be ridable. We chose the $1300 decision to save him. Not a day goes by that I am not thankful.

My purring cats (another rescue effort that has been returned ten-fold)

My dog Mick welcoming me home with whines, whimpers and tail wags that shake his entire body

Knowing my brother S. is happy

Spending quiet time at the cabin

Watching the sunrise over the ponds as mist rises

Watching the sun set against a sky silhouetted with pine trees and a church steeple.

Walking quietly in the woods

Animals and nature seem to be a strong theme here eh? Not surprisingly I picked up the nature thing from my dad and the animal thing from my mom. Who have given me more joy than a child should expect...but that's a different post.

So - now I'm supposed to tag someone else... instead I am going to ask you to do it if you have a moment to reflect on your blessings and what brings YOU joy..

Great list, Kathy. Family, animals and nature - the perfect joy-bringing combination!
