There is a blog that I follow called Rockstar Diaries. It is the blog of a darling girl, Naomi and her husband. Naomi danced with my daughter for years. It is really fun to see her all grown up and married and enjoy getting to know her all over again through her great blog. Check it out.
Anyhoo...about a week or so ago Naomi posted a list of 10 simple things that bring her joy and then asked her readers to do the same. The post is called "Here's to Happiness". She has been posting lists that her readers have sent ever since and I have been having so much fun reading them. I sent her my list, but since then have thought of several other things that just make me happy. Little things mean a lot, ya know? So I have amended my list.
Today I thought I'd share my list of 10 with you and ask you to do the same (thanks for the inspiration, Naomi!). Feel free to comment on this email and leave your list in your comment. I'm excited to see some of the little things in life that bring you joy. Here is my list, in no particular order:
1. BLT's with extra crispy bacon and miracle whip (not mayo!)
2. Tuesday nights with American Idol
3. Creating a scrapbook page while reliving the memories and feelings I felt when the photos were taken
4. Holding and smelling my sweet baby granddaughter
5. When hubby kisses my neck
6. Watching my boys play basketball and football
7. Sitting on a beach with nowhere to go and the sun beating down on me
8. Mrs. Cavanaugh's milk chocolate caramels after they have been in the fridge
9. Days filled with rain, thunder, lightning and grey skies
10. Laughing until my cheeks ache and tears are running down my face
