Joy Pockets

I haven't done Joy Pockets for ages. I miss my weekly doses of gratitude in the midst of mundanity. So here they are...

My mad, cute family...

***
My second book about to go to the printers - wahoo!
***
Holding my nose into touseled hair and breathing my children in
***
A four-year-old who says: "I'm sorry for ripping your skirt and screaming at you. I love you." Kiss.
***
Eating parsnip and bacon gratin as the wild wind blew outside
***
My two work days - never, ever, ever do I take them for granted
***
Another small leap for mankind in terms of my own technological proficiency (see that Pinterest symbol - I wired that up myself!!)
***
Children loving their letters from Granny
***
A secret hope
***
A four-year-old who can read more and more each day
***
Snuggling up with my family to watch the Great British Bake Off final
***
A lovely new network of feisty funny ladies over on the Irish Parenting Bloggers group - we started a revolution together before breakfast one day!
***
Re-reading Aphrodite's Daughters by Jalaja Bonheim 
***
Being on target with my earnings this year
***
Autumn leaves. Conkers. Acorns. Berries - how can you not love autumn?
***
 Almost 100,000 page views on this blog - wahoo - thank you one and all!
***
And this - I actually wet myself laughing when I first read it!

  3. Can we bring back joy pockets and link up every Friday? It keeps me writing and thinking of small blessings all week. I'd love to get back to doing them.... PS loving your positive energy trying to lift you out of the tiredness xx

  4. I'm totally up for it, Amy, I know you asked before. I did try to get permission from the woman who started them, as she had chosen not to do them any more, but got no response, and didn't want to hijack her creation. Will contact her again.
