Joy List Monday

Anne from My Giant Strawberry was the originator of Joy List Monday.  Since writing joy lists I am gradually becoming more positive.

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

Here is my list for today:

• Cool September nights
• Snakes head fritillary and snowdrop bulbs to plant for spring colour
• The positive impact in changing my thought patterns
• A strawberry cheesecake scented candle 
• Making a new blogging friend
• Perfecting my fried breakfast technique!
• Autumn, autumn beautiful autumn

Do try to write a joy list.  There is always some joy to be found even in the most challenging times. We just may have to look a little more deeper.

Joy List Monday

My lovely friend Anne from My Giant Strawberry has reinstated her joy list Monday's and her mission statement is:

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

I find that these lists really do help me to focus and look for joy even when I feel that sometimes happiness is just out of reach.  I am sure Anne would love it if we could help spread the word and share a joy list from time to time.

Here is my list:

• The luminous yellow of the buttercup
• Freshly washed hair
• A scented hand cream put on at bedtime 
• A new book from the library
• Tiny blue butterflies in the garden
• A table free of clutter
• The memory of being loved
• Early morning bird song
• Early evening bird song
• The sunlight flickering on the craft room wall
• Sharing cheesy Nachos and dips with the family
• Watching a classic black and white film 'Death of a Scoundrel'
• Connecting with so many like minded people via the Internet

If you decide to take part in #joylistmonday please share your link with Anne and me so we can find your joys too!
