And you? I'd love to hear your joy pockets for the week. Share them below in the comments or link up here with me and with Mon over at Holistic Mama
What a great list - I'd be grateful for some of those things right now ;)
ReplyDeleteyay to The Gipsy Kings and learning spanish from them. LOL
ReplyDeletemy favourite,
"Making hot chocolate on top of our wood burning stove"
I'm 99% finished with a book now, too! Though mine is a test prep book written for a client — nothing like yours. But still, feels good to be almost done with the damn thing. It shall be in another hour or so.
ReplyDeleteAs for you and your book: CONGRATULATIONS!!! And have a lovely weekend!
Don't Fairy Lights make all the difference?! Christmas carols around a piano are some of my favorite childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteYay for nearly finished books - am just laying it out for Amazon's print on demand service - so much easier than I thought it would be - and free!
ReplyDeleteLove them all. Sounds like a stellar week! X
ReplyDelete99%!? I'm so thrilled for you, Lucy! I can't wait to hear that you've finished, and ultimately to read the book from cover to cover. What an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the book. I love your weekly joy pockets idea! I had a beautiful Earth Pathways diary a couple of years ago that had a little box for gratitudes at the end of each week. Put me in a good mood every time I filled it in.
ReplyDeleteThis week for me:
Having more contact with my longest-serving friend, who was my best friend at school.
My husband bringing me breakfast in bed each morning.
The amazing smiles and cute noises my 9-week-old son has given me.
Having some time to do some yoga last night.
Mince pies!
Seeing my cousin and her fiance.
Having a brief but beautiful late-night walk under the full moon's light.
Baby and I spending some time with my sister-in-law, who is one of the most empathic, kind, considerate people I've ever met.
Hearing this morning from someone who holds a special place in my heart that her baby girl was born peacefully and healthily last night.

I remember making hot chocolate on top of my grandparents wood burning stove- they lived in the mountains of N Georgia, we are too far south for a stove like that- (SW FL) it's currently 82 degrees :) but, at night, we can still have hot chocolate :) merry christmas!
