Ten Simple Things that Make me Happy

September 15th, 2008 . by Joyce

The question this week at Ten on Tuesday
is: What are 10 simple things that make you happy?

  • Fresh sheets on the bed, with a little spray of “Sleep” from Bath and Body Works. It is a relaxing vanilla/lavender scent.
  • The first cup of coffee in the morning, strong and hot.
  • Getting a really good dinner on the table that everyone enjoys.
  • Playing board and card games with the children.
  • Taking the old doggie for a daily walk.
  • Our daily times of reading the Bible together as a family, and singing a psalm.
  • Checking my email and Facebook.
  • Doing a blog post.
  • Baking bread.
  • Going shopping with my daughters.

Will you play, too? What are the little blessings you treasure?

    Wonderful list here … I’m with you on smell of coffee brewing and the 1st cup of the morning … and the twice daily walk with Molly. It’s been YEARS since I’ve played cards with anyone, but the thought conjures up wonderful old family memories … so does the daily reading of the Bible as a family.
    Hugs and blessings,

    Wow Joyce, I have so many from this list in common with you! I too LOVE fresh clean sheets (every Friday around here). The first cup of coffee is always the best, and playing games is a favorite here too.
    Which reminds me to ask you, does Sarah & Justin enjoy playing games? I love to give games as wedding gifts.

    What a wonderful list! That first cup of coffee in the morning is such a simple thing that makes a big difference in the day. Often we take it for granted until we wake up to find the electricity is out! LOL

    I enjoyed your post. Thank you for visiting my blog on the link from Storyteller and leaving such a nice comment. :-)

    I love shopping with my daughter too. It’s such fun that she likes vintagy little retro shops-some of the same ones I shopped at when I was her age. :)
