7 Joys
A cup of tea. Honestly, if I had to give up tea for Lent, it would be a challenge. I cherish the moments with I can curl up on the couch with a hot cup of tea between my chilly hands and gaze through our front window. Life slows down in that moment. It is so, so good.
Flock of birds taking flight. There is something magical about a flock of birds lifting off and joining the blue expanse. Birds are a marvel of creation. They have inspired air travel and formation flying.
Snowflakes. Its unique, one-of-a-kind crystalline structure is awe-inspiring. Its ability to cover a dull landscape and brighten the world during short winter days is refreshing.
Real conversations with a friend. I can only take shallow conversations with people for so long. Therefore, real conversations with a friend (or a family member for that matter) where we both can share our hearts is truly a gift from God.
Balancing our cheque book. Weird, I know. But I find beautiful satisfaction in crunching numbers and sifting through mild chaos to make the numbers agree at the end.
A meaningful card. Cards are going the way of the dodo, or so it seems. But sometimes I receive a card that I know was thoughtfully selected just for me, along with a handwritten note of encouragement. That makes me feel special.
Hilarious things in the background. Your Daddy and I will often laugh over silly things in the background of either a sporting event, movie, or life moment. Like the time when we went to an Anglican church, where the Priest was exiting down the center aisle to a grand recessional hymn. At the same time, a lady was wheeling down a large coffee urn on the outside edge of the sanctuary to the same beat. The scene warranted a guffaw on our part. (Yup, you had to be there. :))
