It's a snowy Saturday morning here in Steubenville, Ohio. I've officially been clean 2 months! I'm in a good mood and over the past week, I've learned how much joy can be found in the little things in life. So, I'm going to make a list of some of my favorite little things in life. I'm sure I'll consistently re-read this list myself, but maybe you can take some of these little things in life and find joy in them when you feel there is no joy to be found anywhere. This list might change as time goes on, so always look to see if there are new ones :)
-Snowy Saturday mornings, sitting with a cup of coffee watching the snow
-Waking up on a Saturday morning, being awake for like 30 minutes, and then falling back asleep
-My 3-month-old Goddaughter, Ashlynn, yawning
-Ashlynn falling asleep in my arms
-Babies giggling
-Random text messages from my friend Brooke with Bible verses or quotes
-Coffee dates with my dad
-Hugs that last longer then I expected from someone really important to me
-Getting in really late and going right to bed
-Feeling God's love and being so overwhelmed that I'm moved to tears
-Random letters in the mail
-The joy that orphaned children have when they realize that someone does really love them
-Turning on my car and my favorite song being on the radio
-Watching Disney movies like Finding Nemo
-Feeling the Blessed Mother's love while praying the Rosary
-Noticing that I wore a short sleeve shirt the other day and took off my coat without even thinking about it (yeah, I have scars, but they're not horrible and I realized that I don't care if people see them. They are a part of me and they show what a battle I have fought and WON for the last 2 months)
-Puppies
-Random praise and worship sessions that tend to happen in my car when driving with my friends
-Road trips with my friends
-Hugs from people taller than me (which is rare, seeing as I am 6 feet tall)
-Hugs from Fr. Greg, Fr. Rick, and Fr. Brad
-That one time Fr. Denny fist bumped me as I walked out of Confession
-Warm cookies
-Laughing so hard that your stomach hurts
-Laughing so hard that your abs hurt the next day
-Laying in bed until like noon on a Saturday
-Not having homework
