Joy List Monday


In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
John Muir

 ♥ 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

 ♥ a lovely Autumn hike 
 ♥ letters from our son who is at Basic Training and letters are the only way to communicate for 10 weeks .. those letters are true treasures
 ♥ sharing memories about our dog Molly who recently passed .. sharing all the adventures 
 ♥ brownies 
 ♥ baseball .. Go Crew Go!

  1. I'm so sorry about your dog. This is a beautiful feather; I wonder what bird it is from? You always take time to notice things that others would pass by without a second glance!

  3. I know those letters from your son are to be treasured. I just found some old letters from my brothers who were service, in Viet-Nam. I am going to send them to their children. Hope your son is doing well. This is a good month to slow down. But I am still playing catch up with chores. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
