Joy List Monday and The Winner Is .....

Joy List Monday

a weekly ritual
a reminder to stop and pay attention to the little beauties and graces
that make life magical and to set aside time for gratitude each day


 ♥ coffee date and catch up with a friend ... one of those friends who you may not see for several months, but you pick right up when you last seen each other, no matter how long it has been.

♥ an email conversation with a dear friend who moved away ... thankful for technology to keep us in touch.

♥ my indoor garden starting to show blooms. I have an amaryllis and daffodils ready to pop any day now.

♥ Saturday night game night ='s tons of laughs ... belly laughs the best kind.

♥  a surprise gift of chocolate from a friend.

And the winner of the Greeting Cards to color is Ginny!

  8. Technology can be such a great way to keep in touch all over the world. That is what I love about blogging too. You can stay connected and meet friends through technology that you might never have known in your lifetime. Have a great new week Carla.
    Hugs,

  17. I'm loving it that my heart has been lifted by this and several other blogs I've read celebrating the joys of everyday life. This is what does me good. I believe it is so contagious and I like catching it and passing it on. This stuff is the really good stuff, Carla.
