a few things that make me jump for joy! #NaBloPoMo

I jump for joy over many things. Though I wouldn’t say I am easily excitable. And, I don’t actually jump. It’s more like my heart is fluttering a little extra.

The Boy picking up his toys without me prompting him.

The Texan bringing me flowers just because.

Not ruining a new recipe.

Sunny days at the beach.

A great book.

Planning a vacation.

It’s the simple things in life that make me jump for joy. What things make you jump for joy?

What what NaBloPoMo is all about? NaBloPoMo, created by the brilliant minds at BlogHer, is a month long blogging challenge to encourage you to write daily about a specific prompt.

Starbucks, a quiet afternoon with a good book, and the sound of my daughter’s giggles.
