Joys from A to Z #SOSMagic

A flower blossoms for its own joy.

[Oscar Wilde]

An ABC list of my joys. 

all baked goods made from scratch
bubble bath at the end of a long day
cherry pie day - warm of course
Dr. Teals sleep lotion
Ethan - my skateboarder and rocker
Friday night pizza
green - as in kiwi, olive, and shamrock
hot summer days in the pool with my sister
iced tea, freshly brewed on a hot summer day
July 27th celebrating 32 years of marriage
knowing my children are safe and happy
Lincoln High School friends - my EJDs
Megan - my teacher and basketball coach
notebooks filled with words
outrageous collections of pens
porch time on fall evenings
quilts made from scraps
reading my endless pile of books.
sending positive notes home to parents
time with my amazing colleagues
under the blankets on winter nights
very warm fires on very cold days
writing and capturing small moments of my day
x-tra light in my days
yesterdays, where memories are kept
Z-z-z-z (a good night's sleep)

  1. So much to love here, but especially these lines:
    "notebooks filled with words
    outrageous collections of pens
    porch time on fall evenings
    quilts made from scraps
    reading my endless pile of books"
    I see how you managed pens who was vying with porch time!
    So glad you're "writing and capturing small moments of my (your) day."
