I love corny, small town, Christmas movies! They bring on that old feet-pajama feeling. Love always wins, as if the universe wouldn’t have it any other way. There is often magic involved, and gingerbread smells, and snow. The ending is clear five minutes in, but I enjoy the unfolding.
Real life is messy and unpredictable. It is filled with dreams, joys, dramas and disappointments, but unlike those movies, the outcome is rarely clear. I have learned that the good things can win the day, if they get enough attention. That is the power of gratitude.
Here are some of today’s little joys:
The soft furry feeling of the inside of a chestnut shell
The surprise tickle of my friend’s dog sniffing my face
The cushy feel of my running shoes
Realizing that I still have two containers of the soup I made a couple of weeks ago in the freezer. It is SO good!
The smell of pumpkin soap in the shower
The possibility of a new house concert booking
The sun through blue glass
My cats’ enjoyment of their new piece of cat furniture
And of course, sappy, happy ending movies!
What are some of your little joys?
