5 things that bring me joy this week
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.
We’ve had a nice extended weekend where we’ve mostly been gone. We got some rest, and then with a packed schedule, got all tired again. I have to say that it’s nice to be back home and getting back into our routine. Who else loves a routine?
Apart from routines that in and of themselves bring joy, here are this week’s 5 things that are doing the same:
the absolutely gorgeous weather we’re having today. I’d say that it’s a tad chilly, but nothing a light sweater, a blazer, or a jacket wouldn’t fix. We’ve dreamed of such weather for so long! Though, of course, it’s short-lived again. We’ll take it!
a weekend spent at the beach. It was needed! And we got to explore another new-to-us place in the Tampa Bay area.
something to look forward to. I have been making plans for weeks ahead, and the idea brings me a lot of joy. After all, having something to look forward to is one of the easiest ways to create contentment in one’s life.
spending time with family. Yes, they might drive us crazy sometimes, but seeing them, especially when living in different states, is something that brings joy.
fresh flowers. Even if some creature wants to sniff and eat them 24/7. Don’t worry, when we’re not home, we place them outside or in the closet so everyone stays safe and healthy.
What’s bringing YOU joy this week?
