REFRESH THE SOUL WRITING CHALLENGE
20 Things That Make Me Smile
30-day writing challenge — Day 1
Starting a little late on this challenge, but better late than never! My goal this month is to write consistently, and starting late is still starting.
Here’s my list of 20 things that make me smile. These aren’t in any order, except that my daughters will always be number one. My list isn’t complicated, or brilliant — just simple things that make me smile daily.
- My daughters
- Sunflowers
- The smell of new books
- A star-filled sky
- The laughter of children
- Puppies — and more specifically, our puppy, Penny
- Baby goats in pajamas
- Kittens playing
- The sound of rain
- Finding a new author to read
- Finishing a great book — and finding another one on my Kobo Plus account
- Writing
- Anytime Stephen King publishes a new book
- A phone call from my girls
- Coffee
- Thinking about my Dad — even though I miss him
- Watching a child learn something
- Rainbows
- Learning
- Reading
Like I said, simple, everyday things that bring me joy. I wish I could say the list came easily, but some thought was required to finish it.
Here’s to a great month of writing in September and spending more time finding the things that make me smile.
