Check the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here, a collection of seemingly insignificant things that serve as a reminder to appreciate the little things — those small joys that make a difference in our day-to-day.

It just hit me that I need to pick up the slack and get back into photography and that includes taking photos of my outfits. I haven’t taken any photos with the actual camera in forever, in spite of it joining us wherever we go.

There’s something about this activity that is soothing and brings me joy. Plus, I need some new inspiration and that’s exactly what photography does for me.

That realization aside, here are the 5 things that are bringing me joy this week:

  • this dress finally arriving today! I say finally, but in truth, I only ordered it this past Friday, so it hasn’t even been a week — that shows how excited I am about it. Also, I’m glad I didn’t wait to purchase it since my size is already sold out; I’m happy that so many others like it as well since I think it’s perfect for just about any occasion!

  • thunderstorm season. I love a good thunderstorm and rain (obviously, as long as they’re not destructive). Weirdly enough, I find them comforting, so you bet that whenever they happen (i.e. as I’m writing this), they bring me joy!

  • the long weekend ahead of us — it’s just nice having an extra day off!

  • Schitt’s Creek. I have to give it to this show since we’ve been rewatching it and I’m looking forward to it every day — it just never fails to bring me joy.

  • coffee! Sleep and I haven’t been the best of friends this week so coffee brings me joy as it slowly ushers life into me…

What’s bringing YOU joy this week?
