1. Looking at photos of my wedding day. Not only were my parents there, but also some of my favorite people in the world plus, it was the day I married my best friend (not to be confused with the best friend I mention in #9).
2. Anytime it’s just me and Lucas in the car. He asks a million questions about what he sees out the window and life in general and I do my best to answer him. Such a curious little buddy.
3. Hearing Lucas sing quietly in his bedroom.
4. A workout that leaves my heart racing and my body super sweaty.
5. Seeing the porch light on upon arriving home.
6. The first sip of a iced Chai tea latte.
7. My sister’s hugs.
8. Starting a new book.
9. Sharing a glass (or bottle) of wine with my BFF, Colleen while we compare parenting notes, commiserate over sick children, family members and too much to do, gossip or crack each other up over the great Dylan McDermott/Dermot Mulroney debate.
Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are. – Marianne Williamson

I love that quote. And I love this post right now, because the small moments of great joy are everything. xo
These small moments of joy mean so much more to me now. Great list, Tonya!
Love all your joys. Happy holidays, my friend!
Great list! I never can decide which side I’m on for the Dylan vs. Dermot debate 🙂
This made me smile today. I will tuck the quote away for a day I really need it 🙂
What great things to list! I happen to like both Dylan and Dermot, but I’ll always prefer Dermot Mulroney. Maybe I can come debate sometime.
I hope you have lots and lots of joy this holiday season and all the days thereafter.
Merry Christmas!
Awww, I never knew you enjoyed my hugs that much! That’s very sweet. I just like giving and getting hugs from people that I care about, which is you. XOXO
