Joy List Monday
I've been working at combatting January's slow start. It may seem counter-intuitive or ironic, but what has really helped has been slowing down and stilling my mind. Writing in my journal. When I'm overwhelmed by my large to-do list and by overflowing inspiration and ideas it really helps to be still. To light a candle and drink some tea and tackle just one thing. Writing in my journal is an immense help. I've been on a roll with it and it feels good.
Writing Joy Lists feels good, too. It's my intention to write them daily. I'm sort of failing at that. Which, means, I think, that it's time to share one here.

- waking up (& getting up) early
- a warmer walk w/warm breezes and sunshine
- Earl Grey tea
- journaling
- a house full of flowers
- yesterday's cocktails and Sunday dinner w/my parents
- feeling inspired, full of ideas and with a long list of projects, BUT also having a still mind
