5 things that bring me joy this week

Check the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here.

Well, here we are getting closer and closer to the end of 2022… It is crazy how, as we get older, time starts to go so much faster, and it simply is never enough for all the things we need/want to do. It just keeps slipping away — I can’t be the only one feeling this way, right?

While time sure doesn’t wait for us, we can and should make the best of whatever we have. Therefore, here comes another installment of my weekly series highlighting the big and small things that bring joy. Let’s go!

new beginning. It sure feels that way with a new month, and being in a new place. While we’re by no means settled from our move, we’re feeling at peace and much calmer, and that alone is a joyous thing.
having outdoor space/yard/garden I can enjoy whenever I need fresh air, or just get away from my computer. You know me — being surrounded by nature brings me joy!
Twilight Saga soundtrack/score. They say fall is Twilight Saga season, and I don’t know about you, but I really loved the music featured in the films. These days this song is stuck in my head and kind of bringing me joy.
our precious Enzo, the kitten we found abandoned. It’s been an adjustment for all of us, and frankly, quite a tough one, but he does bring a lot of joy and is out-of-this-world adorable, but also mean sometimes #justkeepingitreal. Oh, and he loves to smell the roses, haha — I was trying to photograph them when he got in my picture… It appears though that he might be allergic to them as he kept sneezing, so no more flowers around here for a while.
this miracle oven cleaner. I hate cleaning my oven — I don’t know of anyone enjoying this task — and this product made it incredibly easy! Not sure if it’s because I sprayed it on, and literally forgot about it for about 24 hours, but it removed all the messes once I wiped it off, with no scrubbing needed. There — now you know how to make oven cleaning easy!
BONUS: 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photo Awards — utterly delightful, and funny, these photos are guaranteed to bring joy!
