Finding Joy in the Little Things

 Good morning, 2021!  As you may not have started out as we had hoped (some say it's just 2020 part 2), I have to admit, the continued work from home ability combined with the crisp chill of the winter has afforded me some time to realize how wonderful the little things can be.

Some of my favorites:

  • Waking up to see the group in a beautiful frost (I now live south enough that we don't really get snow) and it reminds me how glad I am not to have snow anymore
  • The warmth of a cup of coffee radiating through my hands
  • Realizing that the days are inching towards getting lighter longer
  • removing YouTube TV and swapping it for Disney+ and Discovery+.  I haven't missed the things on YouTube TV that I never watched in the first place
  • Finding an organization to donate to, and realizing that I can continue to make a difference to animals beyond just the holiday season
  • More FaceTimes.  I do love seeing people, even if i can't do so "in real life" in person.
Share some of your "favoring little things" that have brought you joy this year!  And may you continue to smile at all the little things.
