Joy List Monday


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
  ♥ sunshine .... I know I say this each Monday, I can not tell you how much I love the sunshine. I get tired of cloudy days really fast. November is usually a cloudy month for us here in Wisconsin. We have had sun, sun and more sun

♥ my boys .... getting a hug out of the blue in a public place by my oldest and hearing
 "I love you mom" whispered in my ear

♥ a new recipe I made Saturday night and it was a HIT with all the boys in my house

 ♥ my youngest son is excited to plant tulips with me this week

 ♥ enjoying time with friends on a fun Autumn hike

  1. Those are great JOYS! I am loving our weather and sun this time of year, too. I keep waiting for the shoe to drop...or rather the SNOW to drop, I guess. lol I only want one more nice warm Saturday so we can do our annual girls Christmas house walk here.
    Have a wonderful week. xo Diana

  3. We have had lots of sun too. No rain in quite awhile, and more sun to come. Something I always appreciate, especially in cold weather.

  5. Nothing beats a hug from a son. Enjoy your warm days. In case you've heard about the earthquake in NZ, it hasn't affected the area I live in luckily, but devastating for those in Kaikoura.

  7. How nice that your son will garden with you next week and plant tulips. They are such a pretty flower. And the whispering 'I love you mom" got to me right away. It tells me, all is right with the world.

    Wishing you warm and cozy November days, Carla.
