  1. Josie, what fun. For me it is playing with the granddaughters, the mountains, coffee, playing the piano. Just to name a few.

  3. Love your list! I would add "smiling" to the list. And "hearing from a friend," and "being with my family." And... oh, too many things to list. Thanks for making me smile today, Josie.

  5. Josie, thanks for sharing things that bring you joy. I'm with you on the chocolate cake, Hershey kisses, and lilacs. I really miss lilacs because for years we've lived where they don't grow.

    1. Merrillee,
      I miss lilacs, too! They grew where I lived in upstate NY, but not in SC, where I reside now.

  6. What I enjoy most is having some quiet time to myself every day. Now that I'm retired it is so nice to get up and enjoy every morning at home.
