J is for Joy

Posted on April 14, 2025 by karenmeg

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

1/ My first cup of coffee

2/ The Good morning text from my mother

3/ Journalling – whether by blogging or in the various journals I’ve tried to keep up with over the years.

Writing time…

4/ A snuggle with Cody – even though it is getting tougher these days…

5/ Sunrise and start of a new day

    1. Walking with my dog
    2. Watching my cat play with her favorite toy
    3. That moment at work when I actually know the answer to a question
    4. Checking the mailbox after work
    5. Waking up in the morning and cuddling with my husband first thing

    What a fun exercise!

      Yes, it was an idea my sister in law suggested so we would know she is ok.. and I look forward to it every day not just for that. She usually includes some sweet gif with her message, not bad for 87 LOL

    Joy!… I am an even keel kind of person (my husband jokes it’s because I’m Russian lol). But on top of my head:

    1. My kids’ laughter, it’s so infecious!
    2. A great book that I cannot put down
    3. Hugs – from family, friends, heck, even strangers.
    4. Camping by the lake. The lake. ANY lake lol
    5. The smell of airplane fuel – a feeling of anticipation palpitates!
    6. The first day of a vacation/staycation/break: i.e winter break, spring break, NJEA fall break, and of course summer break.
    7. Seeing my students graduate (I am in high school).
