Day one of Happiness Journal

In one of my classes the small group (that I am thrilled to be a part of) has chosen to grow ourselves in joy this week by noting 5 things that brought us joy daily.

Here is my list for Monday September 25
1) Tea on a cold night while reading across the table from my roommate Katie
2) Selling a sofa at work to a really nice lady
3) My friend Sugar and her crocheting patterns (can you say poncho??)
4) Crawling into bed with a great book (Blink - no idea who the author is...)
5) Baby Maxson was born! He is as of yet, un-named.

Catch me I'm falling

I went for a lovely drive this weekend through some of the back roads of MI. Frankly, I got lost driving to a church retreat, but I find any drive can be lovely, even if you have no idea where you are.

I found one road that belongs in a dramatic scene in a movie when someone is declaring their ultimate desire for chocolate (or something equally important) with a long shot from the outside of the car with the trees huggin' in on the sides of the road and the leaves gently glowing yellows and oranges, and dramatic Yo Yo Ma strains playing in your head.

It made me feel like a slice of pure joy had fallen right out of God's hand and into the road in front of me. Breath taking.
