What brought you joy today?
If you've been living with cancer for a while, you know it's not all gloom and doom. Where did you find joy today? I'll start:
1. Working in my garden.
2. Meeting my daughter for tea.
3. Home-made pizza for dinner.
4. My spouse (always).
5. Some interesting online discussions.
6. Rereading a good novel.

Wow! Nothing better than homegrown tomatoes! When I was a kid, my brother and I had a tomato fight in our backyard with old tomatoes and the next year we had about 100 tomato plants all over the yard. What a delightful unintended consequence! Haha I enjoyed lots of tomato sandwiches for years. Yum!

6 ReactionsToday I discovered that three of my tomato plants are already taller than I am (one is over 7 ft). That's not bad for Canada in mid-July. I've run out of stake to tie them to, though. 🙂

10 ReactionsToday my joy came from watching out the window, 14 turkeys in my back yard. Been living here almost 20 years and is first time seeing them, plenty of others but not the turkeys. Appeared to be 3 moms and 11 young ones. they would walk around then plop down to relax. On and off I watched them for over 3 hours, it was a pretty joyful site to see them. Best to all.

11 ReactionsToday, tending to my vegetable garden.
Yesterday, hauling away the junk around my workbench so that it can become operational again, and baking fresh whole-wheat molasses bread.
Every day, breakfast on the porch surrounded by flowers, and most of all, my family and friends.

3 ReactionsJoy today for me was dragging some stuff out to the road for disposal and getting the lawn mowed. I know not fun stuff but sure is a good feeling that I got it done. Right now, I'll take the things that make my self esteem better. And as added bonus, I have this coming week off from work, meaning odd chores and lots of rest. Best to all.

Today, what brought me joy was walking my dogs with my youngest son this morning.
