Small Joys — little bits help

listen to a story

Peter finished reading Sirens of Titan to me — it took us 3 months because we’d stop for long stretches. What a strange story. Not positive I liked it… yet I want to read it again.

tidy barrettes

Latest #SmallJoys update:

I’d bought this box of tiny barrettes a few years ago. As I used them, I just threw them in my big basket of hair ties. Inevitably over time all the little barrettes fell to the bottom and it was a hassle to find them. This morning, I decided to fix that and dig them all out and put them back in their container. Such a little thing, but I’m happy to be able to find and use them again. And in the process, trash was thrown out and other things put away and other barrettes weeded out. So my hair tie basket also improves! This was so satisfying.

Today I am wearing two teal barrettes with little flamingoes on them.

I’ve been busy/overwhelmed with work, moving, Peter and general angst of the world. And Small Joys briefly lost priority. But I have happy to find that I have been recognizing when I am doing something that brings me pleasure. So lately many of my SJs have been done then added to the list. It’s what’s working at this time.
