Ten

Another list of small joys ...

1. Bare shoulders
2. Open mouth baby kisses
3. Hot bread
4. Night swimming
5. A bowl of cold muscat grapes
6. Lying with our cheeks pressed together
7. Brunch at Neighborhood Restaurant
8. Mornings at the library
9. Dahlias
10. Armfuls of warm laundry

Ten

I like lists. And being happy. This is such a nice idea I wanted one of my own.

1. Unexpected postcards
2. Eskimo Kisses
3. In-flight movies
4. Nights by the lake
5. Blowing kisses to the ocean
6. Cooking dinner for my loves
7. A made bed
8. Daydreaming
9. Finding rooftops and secret entrances

10. Affectionate nicknames

Now I'm thinking making a list like this should become an every-once-in-a-while habit {can that even be a thing?}. Because sometimes ten seems like an awful big number of things to be happy about. Which is a shame. But it's also true. And when life is pressing and grey like that I am certain there couldn't be a better time to count happy things all the way up to a whole ten. Of course, sometimes you can't stop counting. Then, doesn't it feel so nice to be so content? When there are so many small joys, they are worth noticing. I like the idea of looking at older lists and re-remembering things that make me happy.

{An unmade bed can be just as nice}
