What small joy did you experience yesterday?

I’m new to the group, and this is my second post. I’ve read many of the past discussions, and one of the messages stood out to me: Take each day as it comes and recognize small joys.

Yesterday, I caught myself smiling. We have a goldfish pond, and I briefly caught a glimpse of a goldfish baby dart from under a rock to another rock.

What small joys did you all experience yesterday?

Maybe we can help each other smile a bit.

Nice idea! We’re seeing a few bunnies in our yard and yesterday saw a little baby one. I love animals so that brings me joy. Also, I learned how to unfreeze the garbage disposal! 🙂

I use a journaling app and set up a template with sections for Daily Joys and Challenges. Makes me think of both categories every time I make an entry.

red finches and goldfinches together at my feeder. My beautiful sweet peas are blooming and making me happy. Also my son saying everyone loves you mom💜

I like to sneak out of the house at night and go for a ride on an electric scooter. :)

Watching our 2 silly dogs play games. Big Old English and a little blue eyed mixed breed = hilarious!

What a wonderful idea!

I am originally an island girl. I have a favorite apple which is very hard to find in the U.S. I was gifted one apple a few years ago. I planted the seed & literally prayed for success.

This year was the first year it gave me fruit. Normally, the tree bears once per year. In some locations, I have read, the trees have been found to bear multiple times per year. Mine seems to fall in the latter.

I went out yesterday and was delighted to see that my tree is bearing again. It has 10 baby apples on it. THAT made me smile.🙃

DH and I watched the sunrise from our deck and enjoyed the birds in the early morning light. Smiling first thing in the morning is a good thing.

Yesterday—a quiet, uneventful day was good, just chilling at home. 😁

Today—have to balance the budget and pay for the MCF bill 😐️ But still being able to pay is good 🙂.

tossing the ball to my dog and then her lying on my lap. She’s my peace at home.

I checked out a library book that was last checked out in 1974. I felt some camaraderie with that long-ago reader.

Taking care of my horses, they always make me smile!

I have been wanting to attend a memory cafe with my DH but have been unable to find one in my area. I talked the library where I work into having a memory cafe at the library. The first one was yesterday. It was a great success. Several people with their PWD attended and everyone said they had a great time. To me one of the best parts was seeing several people exchanging phone numbers. That made me smile.

Picking huckleberries and listening to the birds sing while a woodpecker was pecking away on a tree.

My two blueberry bushes have yet unripe berries, but catbirds, robins, and cardinals have been keeping an eye on them. This morning a catbird was plucking some berries. Hey, they're not even blue yet, stupid!

My dog calling for the neighbor dog to come out. Her bounding toward him, then the two of them saying hello at the fence.

I watched an old Super Password All-Star game show with host Bert Convey, contestants Lucille Ball, Carol Channing, Betty White and Dick Martin, playing for charities. They were so smart and so hilarious, I couldn't help but laugh.

The fireflies were out last night. It was twilight, the temperature was 72 with a breeze, and the western sky was blue with clouds colored peach by the setting sun.

Little screech owl calling from the big ol’ pecan tree outside my bedroom window at 3 am. Lovely.

Watching my DW loving our dog.
