April 15: Writing Prompt #105-The Satisfaction of a List

Who doesn’t love a list? So write one! Top five slices of pizza in your town, ten reasons disco will never die, the three secrets to happiness — go silly or go deep, just go list-y.
Top Five Things that Bring Me Joy!
1. The smile on an infant’s face when they are carried into our child-care facility first thing in the morning. 
2. My dog’s stretches, grunts, growls, tail wags, and upside-down back scratching antics when I arrive home from work or being out and about. 
3. My own children’s mischievous grins and out loud laughter when we are together as a family and telling stories or jokes. 
4. Nature-whether it’s the myriad of colorful trees in the fall, the beautiful blooming flowers in the spring, the wide-open and never ending blues and greens of the great Pacific Ocean, or the snow capped mountains of the NW, doesn’t matter.
5. Knowing I was a help to someone in a time of need…maybe I just listened or I cried with them or shared their frustrations or I was actually able to help them in a more tangible way, with a classroom activity, a challenging child, or editing a resume or college application essay…it’s a source of great joy for me. 

What are your top five JOY BRINGERS!! J
