#5JoysFriday!

1. I finished my ballot research as best I could and dropped off my ballot on Tuesday—and got text confirmation that it‘s been received & counted!
2. Cozy reading with comfy PJs, Jack-o-lantern quilt, cinnamon pumpkin candle, and cranberry cream tea
3. Developing some writing project ideas & sharing an excerpt at my writing group today
4. A Mary Oliver poem about joy shared by a friend (link in comments) ⤵️

5. A sweet art print I ordered for my grand-niece‘s first birthday (in December)

A quick reread while my kids played at the park. I love this reminder to cherish the small moments and not just get caught up in work. “Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.”

🎶 New album today from Josh Ritter, one of my musical favorites
🙏🏼 Spiritual direction training
🎹 Contemplative piano service
🌌I live too far south to see the Aurora, but I‘ve been enjoying pics from others!
🌪️My niece weathered Hurricane Milton safely! Her birthday is today, and she & her friend decided not to cancel their reservations at Disney this week. 😳🫣 She‘s terrified of tornadoes. She slept through the hurricane 😂

A delight . Simple and as one review said, naive. I enjoyed being reminded of the lessons he discovers about finding happiness. Published in 2011 , I see there was a movie in 2014.

🧦 Wearing my banned books socks for Banned Book Week
☕️ Meeting a dear friend for coffee this afternoon

S3V3N Love the mug 1mo

Alright #hygge hour Littens, I see you! I had a vague understanding of Hygge from my use of the Calm app and mindfulness practice. I wanted to learn more about it, so I added this book to my Libby wishlist. Thanks to your recent posts, I finally read and very much enjoyed this little book. Now I understand what you all are doing! Great idea!! 😅

1. Music! My husband had two concerts this week, one with his jazz combo and one with his big band—both so joyful!
2. Litsy! This week especially, it‘s been a much-needed respite from other social media, with politics and its related chaos
3. My husband: we celebrated the 11th anniversary of our engagement this week 💜💍
4. My loose leaf tea order arrived! ☕️😋
5. Roasted chicken for dinner last night (should have taken a picture!)

julieclair Lovely joys! 1mo

BarbaraJean @Amiable I was drooling, too! I went to re-order our usual peach and raspberry iced tea selections, and then I \“had to\“ add some new ones to try so I could get up to the free shipping threshold. 😂 I got an Apple Ginger Rooibos that\'s amazing!! 1mo
Amiable @BarbaraJean Ha ha … I always tell my husband that, too! I “had” to get more just to save on shipping —it would be like giving away free money if I don‘t! He has an engineering degree so he doesn‘t ever agree with my math, though. 😄 (edited) 1mo
DebinHawaii A lovely list of joys! 💛💛💛 I‘m loving all that tea & a roast chicken is comfort joy! 😋 Thanks for joining in & helping spread the joy! 🤗 1mo
