Belated #5JoysFriday!
1. My dad & I are making progress in getting rid of unnecessary stuff—someone took the dresser we left at the curb, and we gave a bunch of vintage clothes & hats to a local youth theater org for costumes
2. During the above, I found a sweet “Thank You Grandpa” booklet my nieces gave my dad almost 20 years ago (we kept that!!)
3. Between rainstorms we had some glorious clear days where I could see snow on the mountains ⤵️

4. One of my college professors (Bible professor at a conservative Christian university) is posting thoughtful critiques of Trump/Christian nationalism & related topics on social media. Today: “The Christian virtues are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I‘ve yet to figure out where contempt for transgender people fits in this list.”
5. And, that misprint from Sunday‘s bulletin! 😆 2mo

TheKidUpstairs I love all of these! 2mo

#5JoysFriday!

1. Saturday was our wedding anniversary and we celebrated with a fancy dinner paid for by a gift card from my husband‘s boss
2. After the fancy dinner, we went to a Radiolab quiz show followed by a musical performance by Julianna Barwick
3. My good friend who‘s not a big fiction reader decided to read Nicholas Nickleby since I‘m reading it right now, and she‘s really enjoying it and texting me about it!

4. It seems weird to say Ash Wednesday gave me joy, but it was a deeply meaningful day and I got to connect with some church friends I hadn‘t seen in a while
5. My husband has been all about Murderbot the last week—we read book 1 for book group and he‘s been reading each next book as quickly as I can get them from the library!

The ginkgo trees at church have turned golden and I love seeing their leaves against the bright blue sky
My favorite roses in the garden are STILL blooming in December (welcome to Los Angeles!)
I went to a beautiful lunchtime Advent retreat on Tuesday
Daily joys: poetry & tea advent calendars, plus reading LMM‘s Christmas stories and Tolkien‘s Father Christmas letters
Christmas decorations! An annual tradition at my parents‘ house⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …has been hanging up these little felt angels (that my grandma made) in the rafters above the living room/dining room. I put them all up yesterday and it brings me SUCH joy to see them there! 5mo

DogMomIrene Beautiful roses!🌹 5mo

BarbaraJean ALSO, how did I forget to put #AuldLangSpine on my joys list this week?! It gave me so much joy to receive @Librarybelle's list and to begin adding books to my TBR and placing library holds. And I am finding so much joy in seeing everyone posting their lists and January reading plans! Thank you for facilitating that joy, @monalyisha! 5mo

My Land and My People: The Original Autobiography of His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet | The Dalai Lama

Easiest bingo I ever got! Started this book over coffee this morning only to get to page 5 of the introduction to see an underline. So I flip through, and yup, I already read this 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 It is relieving to know that I at least remember read books once I start to re-read them.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 6mo
