What brings you joy? (Contest)
Friday, June 20th, 2025

I have been painting. Not every day, like I’d prefer. Some days, I’m just tired and prefer to work on my bucket list of old movies and TV shows I want to consume before…you know. I should be writing, but finding that joy has been harder while I get accustomed to new medical protocols and regaining my old vigor (it’s going to happen!).

This little piece makes me smile so much that I framed it and placed it next to my bathroom mirror so I could see it when I wash my hands or brush my teeth. I like the colors. I like the worried expressions on the fishes’ faces. Plus, I painted it fast—always a win for me. I like to see “the end” of a project, so something quick is a big win for me. Pure joy.

For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, tell me what brings you joy!

    Crocheting an blanket, especially a “scrappy” blanket. I love reaching into a bag/box and randomly grabbing another color to add to my blanket. They are fun to make, and people love them. I get as much joy when I give the blanket away. The whole process works for me.

    LOL! Not for the contest, but the expressions on those sardines are priceless! Here’s the caption I would give the picture: Fish in the middle: me in the center seat in an airplane. Fish on the left: me with my husband sitting next to me when he decides to take the middle seat so I don’t have to. Fish on the right: not me, ever.

    Thanks for today’s chuckle!
