Making A Joy List

I focus on things that make me happy and bring me joy

I decided to make a ‘joy list’ — noting things that lift my spirit and bring me joy.

• Flowers
• Dogs
• Books
• Music
• Babies
• Meaningful conversations
• Kindess — both from me and from others
• Laughter
• Listening to people have a good belly laugh
• Good food
• Fruit
• Watching people dance (because I have two left feet!)
• The smell of water on dry earth (petrichor — relates to rain)
• Warm showers
• Scented candles
• Incense and joss sticks
• Collecting meaningful quotes
• Writing my Morning pages
• A freshly made bed
• The smell of freshly washed clothes.

I could go on and on — and I will, adding to this list as often as I can.
