Happy Monday, all! For this week's post, I thought I'd do something a little different. Hang with me, okay? 😄
A blogging friend, Mikayla @ Mikayla Holman, has been sharing some of the things that have made her smile recently. I really liked this idea, so I thought I'd grab a handful of my own happies from the past seven days and post about them. 😃 Enjoy, and I hope this musing brings a bit of extra sunshine to your day. 🥰
A FEW AUTUMN DELIGHTS
(not all fall-themed, but still taking place in the season in question)
~~~
Warm jackets w/ hoodies
MOD pizzas purchased by an unexpected source
Late nights spent watching I Love Lucy
Early morning jogs
Leaves splashed in gold, red, and orange
Photo shoots
Hair clips
Cozy socks
Encouraging blog posts
Mom's hugs
Glitter pens
Bike rides
A Toy Story-themed, Pin-the-Tail-on-Bullseye game w/ my sibs
Having my mask, shirt, and shoe laces all match for one visit to the store
Seeing Grandma and Pop Pop
Ruby's big blue eyes
The smell of fresh pumpkin muffins pervading the house
New Kindle e-books
Green bananas
Fuzzy pajama pants
My sister's laughter as she reads this post
Pink headphones
Jesus's constant provision for my family 💜

Those are the names I call my grandparents as well! My granddad has passed on already, but he was a believer, so I know he's experiencing joy unspeakable right now. Thanks for the post, Ellen!
ReplyDeleteAww, you're welcome! Thank you for commenting!! I'm so glad to hear your pop pop was a believer, and that you have this special memory of him. <3
DeleteAwww! Encouraging blog posts are the BEST! *looks with heart eyes at your blog* (Your blog encourages me!!!)

ReplyDeleteThx for your concern, Sawyer! My family and I were out of town most of this week, so for the time being I turned on comment moderation. I hope to switch back to what I had before here soon. :)

Also, if you got three comments from me, that was an accident. I wasn't signed in on my google account on the other device and for some reason, it didn't tell me you were approving comments again.
ReplyDeleteAh, nope, you're good! Just got this comment and the previous one (both published). :)
DeleteAwww your sister is precious!!! I've always wanted younger siblings but I have to make do with my friends many siblings instead! :) Wonderful post idea!!!

DeleteFall/autumn is the BEST season. I love how most of the things that make you smile are the simple things in life. You try to see beauty everywhere. <3
