5 things that bring me joy this week

You can check out the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here. It's a collection of seemingly insignificant things that remind us to appreciate the little things—those small joys that make a difference in our daily lives.

Welcome to this corner of the internet, where these days, we defy hate and hopelessness by focusing on small things that bring joy. Because, yes, even in the darkest of times, we can find joy, if we allow ourselves to feel and see it.

Here’s this week’s list:

foggy sunrises. I love sunrises this time of the year at our place as they’re simply stunning. Like this enveloped by fog sunrise that made me run to grab my camera and capture it before dissipating. Doesn’t it look incredible?
open doors and windows kinda mornings and evenings. With summer-like temperatures during the day, the cooler mornings and evenings have been a welcome treat. The birds are loving this, too! Double-joy!
opal apples! Specific, I know, but I can’t have enough of these apples these days — they’re delicious!
my orchids growing flower spikes. When I say it’s about the little things, I mean it. As an orchid lover, I know that cold weather “wakes” them up and triggers blooming. So each year around this time, I get super excited for it to happen — let the blooming watch begin!
the perfect spring dress! How stunning is it? I want it bad!
