RAE’S READS

Thanks to Random Specific Inverted Thoughts blog for tagging me in this fun post. We are being asked to list 15 Small Joys in our lives, then tag 5 other bloggers who bring us joy. Here goes:

FIFTEEN SMALL JOYS

  1. Exercising my arthritic fingers by scratching my cat, Freesia’s head and chin.
  2. Listening to music; learning new forms of music genres to me.
  3. Cooking a nice meal for my husband; he is always an appreciative audience.
  4. Grading a paper that a student has worked hard on (It is evident.) and makes a good grade on.
  5. Teaching face-to-face. Online teaching is really a challenge.
  6. Watching the sermon from my church on Facebook sometime on Sunday.
  7. Reading the Sunday school lesson our teacher, Bill Hasse, sends out each week.
  8. Finding a great quote about reading or writing.
  9. Putting toys and books in my Little Free Library; trading books and adding toys to two other Little Free Libraries in town.
  10. Stretching
  11. Snuggling under the covers in my warm, wooly bathrobe.
  12. Sitting in my living room, looking at my “things” remembering who gave them to me or the occasion on which I bought them (and where)
  13. Finding a bargain I can use, or better yet, NEED.
  14. Enjoying fresh flowers.
  15. Buying a plant for my flowerbeds.

      As I loved your favorite small joys! I had a Fluffy once, a champaigne-colored long-haired kitten, Percy is bound to be a male, right?

        Hi Rae,

        I’m getting ready for NaNoWriMo and doing edits on a middle grade story and an adult paranormal. Also, I’ll be doing some promotion for the holidays on Coffee Time Romance.

        Somehow, it seems the good things, the blessings are even more sweeter now.

        Hugs to you!

      Hey, girlfriend. Haven’t been reading too many blogs lately–finishing up the semester. This online teaching is for the birds–really not for a ham like me who needs an audience! LOL

    So, I am way behind on reading blogs and I just saw this today. Of course I’m in. I love sharing positives and think it is important to count our blessings each day.
