I‘m posting #5joysfriday on a Saturday.

1. I participated in a Facebook group answering a question about journal discoveries.
2. I live in TX and I saw this list of 25 independent book stores that was posted on Instagram. I didn‘t know we had so many independent bookstores.
3. I caught up on the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read
4. I caught up on the #christiescapers buddy read
5. The Fable app has reader summaries now.

A crazy week for work with 2 Hilo trips & all day meetings & when I got home last night I just crashed so, it‘s a Saturday #5JoysFriday list for me.

1. Good flights, a couple of upgrades, & seat-mate readers in the wild bring me joy. I love readers! 📚💛

2. Last Saturday on my field trip, a favorite Indian restaurant that was closed was reopening. 🎉 I got takeout & asked if they had their mango lassi & she gave me a free one & a big glass ⬇️

DebinHawaii … of ice water while I waited “because it‘s so warm & you came by on our first day back.” Delicious mango lassis & great customer service bring me joy! 😋

3. Not going to lie, Wendy‘s vanilla Thin Mint Frosty gave my mouth joy.😋

4. I did a Succession Planning session at yesterday‘s meeting & it went really well which gives me joy for the work put in on it. ⬇️

DebinHawaii … Our CEO (my boss) wants the slides in my board meeting presentation & for an industry talk he‘s giving. 💪🏼

5. Lots of #SpringCardSwap cards to open this weekend are joyful. Thanks @TheBookHippie for hosting! 🌱💚

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

AllDebooks Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my aunt's untimely death. Her magnolia that she gifted to me is about to come into bloom. 💔🌸💔 4d
Librarybelle ❤️❤️❤️ 4d

BooksandCoffee4Me So sorry you‘ve been so sick. Praying you continue to recover and get well soon. 💛 4d
DebinHawaii I love your joys & I‘m so glad you are feeling better. 💛💛💛 Having been on that cycle of asthma flare-ups & chest & sinus stuff last year, I truly understand how awful & exhausting it is. Wishing you ongoing better health. 🙏🏼 3d
kspenmoll I can do relate to asthma, chest infections cycle. Hope your heath continues to improve.💜💜 1d

#5joysFriday Hard hard week at work so I‘ve got to think really hard on this one.

1) attending a friend‘s award ceremony for her book
2) even though I‘m 57, Mom @Doll8455 still checks up on me 🥰
3) going to my daughter‘s induction into Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society this morning
4) it‘s close to only 1 month before son comes home from college for the summer
5) I may be close to hiring a new paralegal (my previous one retired)

@DebinHawaii

AnnCrystal 💝💝💝💝💝. 4d
Bookwormjillk Good luck with the hiring. It‘s so hard to know how things will turn out. 4d
BooksandCoffee4Me Congratulations to your daughter, and oh, how treasured are those times when our sons come home. 4d

#5JoysFriday!

My first three are more treasures unearthed from the garage:
1. Beautiful blue glass vases which I have filled with larkspur from the garden
2. My brother‘s soccer shirt from when he was a kid in the early 80s, featuring the name of their sponsor: “Drugs-N-Such” 🤣
3. My summer library reading program certificates from childhood, one of which proclaims: “The Sizzler Proudly Salutes You”
Continued ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d)
More joys (unrelated to organizing the garage 😆):
4. Finally getting my music library (~100GB) back from a failed hard drive
5. Dinner with one of my best friends last night + an early birthday gift of a book, a bookish game, and an Emotional Support Dumpster Fire (gifted in the book-themed gift bag we‘ve been trading back and forth since college)

Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Fruit 😋💝.

2- the magic of stumbling across something you have been looking for after having given up the search 🪄💖.

3- The 6th book in the Old Kingdom series has been added to my library 🪄📚💝 still super excited about this 😂📚💝.
#theoldkingdomreviewedbyanncrystal.

4- meeting a stranger in a parking lot who claimed to be psychic and who read me too well 🪄🤩🆒.

👇

AnnCrystal 5- had to go to Walmart for necessities that we haven't yet sourced elsewhere (I know 👀🥺🤐). Checked the entertainment dept. while there (Of course). There wasn't anything two-spirited, but there were woman/culture writers, fantasy, Spanish language books, etc. I know that Walmart is rolling back DEI, yet they haven't seemed to make it about their products, at least not yet. Perhaps they're reconsidering🥳🤞🏼.

AnnCrystal *anything two-spirited (LGBTQTS+) that I noted...there may have been, and it escaped my notice.

Sace Fruit is awesome! I have discovered that the best way to find something is to stop looking for it (or buy a replacement 🙄) 4d
TheBookHippie We use Walmart it‘s the least of the evils here. Plus I use delivery and it‘s the jobs of the immigrants here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ not perfect, but local is hugely expensive and owned by right wing extremist. 4d
AnnCrystal @AmyG truly indeed 👏🏼😉👍🏼🪄💖. 4d
AnnCrystal @Sace I absolutely love fruit 😋👍🏼. And that does seem like the best way to find something 🧐🪄🤩...I really do hate replacing something I already have. 4d
AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie I read that, “Walmart aims to power 50% of its operations with renewable energy by 2025 and 100% by 2035, while also aiming to reach zero emissions from all its vehicles and transportation network, including long-haul trucks, by 2040.“

We are trying our best to support mom and pop shops even more now, unfortunately, we've experienced some impossibly rude customer service from some. Thursday, we left a shop quite upset. 👇

AnnCrystal I wondered, does this guy want to sell his merchandise, or is he trying to run an exhibit for show only. Perhaps he assumed we didn't have the funds?? What he did have prices on were extremely expensive... (edited) 4d
Bookwormjillk Fruit is the best! 4d
Texreader Your No 4: that‘s amazing! What fun! 4d
AmyG @TheBookHippie Same here….we just have Walmart and Costco. I try to buy atCostco as much as we can…but we still need Walmart. 4d
AnnCrystal @Bookwormjillk absolutely 😋👍🏼💝. 4d
AnnCrystal @Texreader it was strangely spectacular, 🤩🪄💖. 4d
TheBookHippie @AmyG Costco is 60 minutes away one way here 😵‍💫 I do order online some things from there. 4d

1) a very restful Spring Break with my youngest.
2) healing from my surgery (doc even said I could play kick ball).
3) #SpringCardSwap thanks to @TheBookHippie and you, Deb. So much joy. SEEDS! What an awesome idea. I think @Bookwormjillk sent some and I can't remember who else.
4) Redbuds are blooming.
5) Boy George
