With family in town and so much going on, I missed last week, but here are my joys for this week‘s #5JoysFriday.
🎂My grand-niece dancing on the table at the end of her first birthday party
📚That same sweet girl enjoying her book gifts at the park
🥐A croissant sticking out its strawberry tongue at the wall of the display case
🙏🏼Seeing a former student interviewed on the news as he was providing support and aid to wildfire victims (link ⤵️)
pickAnother fave same one his mommy loved! 🥁 For a baby boy who has always loved hands and drumming of course he loves this book too!
“Monkey had saved the day. Did Monkey's humility last? That's another story for another book.“
This might introduce mythology that kids have not been exposed to before! It's an interesting book with an ambiguous ending.
pickA redemptive story about Monkey. It starts with Monkey as a mischievous presence against the heavens and ends with Monkey saving the heavens. Ed Young is from Tientsin, China and this is a story from Chinese mythology.
Throughout the book I enjoyed that Jim's friends were trying to cheer him up but nobody really tried to help him out
💜I had a realization of how absolutely beautiful people are, thinking about the massive outpouring of wildfire assistance + two beautiful spiritual direction sessions I had this week 2w
