Joy is.........

Okay, so I'm stealing this idea from Claudine because I liked her post on "happiness is..." (thanks Claudine). I am trying to think more positively lately so here it goes...

Joy is..........

...being able to ride your bike up the hill without stopping....

...being outside with the sun shining in the bright blue sky...

...having a car stop to let you cross the street...

...experiencing a smile from a friendly stranger...

...having someone comment on your cycling and how it is good exercise...

...having your kitty run up to you and purr madly after not seeing him all day because he was at the vet...

...making a chicken lasagna for the first time ever and having it turn out so well that your husband loves it...

...getting your hair trimmed, coloured and styled and looking SO HOT afterwards (it is amazing what a simple hairdo can do to your self-esteem)...

...spending time with one of your best friends...

...a clean bathroom, clean floors and a clean living room...

...convincing your husband to buy pine pellet kitty litter because it is better for the environment and it will be more cost effective for us...

...finding out that the Gull gas station up the road sells fruit slushies / slurpees - only three flavours but yay...

...choosing a song about the Saviour to teach to the primary for this month and help them to feel the love of Jesus Christ...

...feeling loved by friends and family.....

fun to hear how you feel JOY. it really is the simple things, huh? just a side note-- you were married in 2008, not 2009, remember??? your side bar of info wedding date hasn't happened yet otherwise.... :)

Aww...you flatter me too much!
I loved your list!

Joy is the small things. Eventually it will lead to the big things and everything will fall into place after that!

Love you! You're doing GREAT!
