Every morning, during circle time with the kiddos in my class, we take turns holding a pretend microphone for our turn to answer the daily question. Today's question was:
These are some of the responses I got:
-my bike -ducks -being the weather watcher (one of the classroom jobs) -popsicles -hugs -presents -dinosaurs -digging -going on roller coasters
And then it was my turn. I got the microphone and sat in silence for a moment. I realized that there are so many things that bring me joy in life! I quickly recovered and shared that I am very happy when I get to play games with friends... This is a good response to share with students and also happens to be very true. During nap time, after I finished prepping the next day, I started to compose a list of things that make me smile and make my heart so happy. Here is that list...
- doing just about anything with my husband
- playing board games
- hula hoops
- rainy days that I can spend at home
- going on adventures
- sleeping in and days off
- my family
- trying a new recipe and having it actually be delicious
- a clean home
- flavored and frilly coffee along with coffee shops
- taking pictures
- themed parties
- Harry Potter
- crocheting and doing anything somewhat artsy fartsy
- reading
- baths
- daisies
- freshly made lemonade (I'm actually enjoying some right now!)
- having friends over for any occasion
- live music
- salsa and chips
- road trips
- making travel plans
- naps
- geocaching
- swing at the park
- cardigans
- ice cream trucks
- waking up, thinking I'm late and then realizing I still have time to snooze
- kids in my class requesting hugs as soon as I walk in the door

I could go on for days. I guess you could say that I am a cheerful person and I guess this is why. There is just so much in everyday life to be thankful for and that can bring joy if you let it.
That's a fantastic list!
