#5JoysFriday!
1. Saturday was our wedding anniversary and we celebrated with a fancy dinner paid for by a gift card from my husband‘s boss
2. After the fancy dinner, we went to a Radiolab quiz show followed by a musical performance by Julianna Barwick
3. My good friend who‘s not a big fiction reader decided to read Nicholas Nickleby since I‘m reading it right now, and she‘s really enjoying it and texting me about it!

Went to my local Indie bookstore, RiverBend Bookshop to pick up my Feb. holds & of course I left with 3 more books. What a thrill! #joy #indiebookstores #books

4. Library holds came in (finally!)
5. It was warm enough today to wear this t-shirt 😁
Thank you so much @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @TieDyeDude for the #LitsyLove package. These are all books I didn‘t already own, and I‘m excited to read! I love being part of this book loving community! 🥰
I am in India with the (now late) Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.

"The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore." —C. JoyBell
I've spent a lot of the last year discovering myself. Sometimes in this 'full speed' life we forget ourselves. Our peace. A moment to ourselves. Mostly we focus on others (children, partners, parents...). Sometimes we need to put ourselves first. Even if it's just for 5 minutes.⬇️
I‘ve fallen behind on my posts!
Being an introvert, this books speaks to me.

4. It seems weird to say Ash Wednesday gave me joy, but it was a deeply meaningful day and I got to connect with some church friends I hadn‘t seen in a while
5. My husband has been all about Murderbot the last week—we read book 1 for book group and he‘s been reading each next book as quickly as I can get them from the library!
