I don't have a pic, but it goes without saying that my family and friends bring me joy. They can also cause me many new grey hairs and much frustration, but the joy is right up there.
How good is it seeing the looks on the kids faces on Christmas morning ? I love giving gifts, it makes me bubble over with happiness.
The kids artwork. This is me, with green hair, as drawn by Petal. Check out those eyelashes and the mega tan (?) phwoar.
Bubbly and chocolate cup cakes. How could you not smile at that combination ?
Watching the snow peas creeping up the trellis frame. Quite fascinating and beautiful to behold.If you would like to see some more joy, go and check out Cindy's, I bet you're smiling and nodding your head by the time you're done.
Every single one of those things above make me smile too, and just as I was beginning to bemoan the coming Christmas rush you have reminded me of the great joy of seeing my children open their gifts... and also that I need more bubbly... so thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAgree with Nomie. ALL of the above brings a little joy to my heart as well. Especially, I have to say, the bubbly and chockie cup cakes. Yum.
ReplyDeleteMay I have one?
I think the other thing that might bring you, and your readers joy, is Paris Part II!!!!!
Think about it. x
It is so good to know that there are many things that bring you joy. What a delightful piece of art Petal has made... deserving of a frame me thinks.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme - thanks for inspiring me to reflect on all the things that bring me joy too.
Bubbly? Who said bubbly?
ReplyDeleteThat drawing of petal's is the best! I hope it is on display somewhere bringing you joy whenever you walk past it.
ReplyDeleteOh Bum, my word verification thingy is gastro!! I hope that is not a sign of things to come.
Actually Kate, we have turned into a very snazzy book mark which I just might share with you all later. It's so cute. And don't say gastro..no, no,no.
ReplyDeleteI would be extra joyful after a bit of that bubbly (or Paris Part Deux!).
ReplyDeleteI love the picture by Petal - its very sweet. A real treasure.
Word verification: hydrovem ... possibly something Kate would need to take if she got gastro.
Awwww, that little picture. Nice tan Mama! And I think all the other things you mention are joyous indeed (although I've never not killed a plant, so I don't know the joy of growing one first hand!)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice Aussie Waffler! I love the photos! Christmas has always been big on my list, pre and post kids! You need the tan to go with the the VERY short skirt!!
ReplyDeleteI had the same feeling when I went through and thought about all the good stuff I have when some people have nothing - so joyous! Your a pearler I reckon
ReplyDeleteSuch a great joyous snapshot of life! Champas and chocolate are always reliable for a little bit of joy! Non?
ReplyDeleteHow preeeeety is that tree? Ours always looks like someone spewed tinsel at it. The cakes make me dribble and can I just say if that is morning tea at your house somedays, can I come??
