joy list Monday

It's an Anne thing:
a list of what brings joy, most important in the face of joylessness

the company of good friends

the exuberance of new blooms

the return of summer neighbors

fragrant signs that last summer's drought and the winter's late withdrawal have not diminished the Cortland apple's vigor.

I see,
listing joys in the face of disappointment serves to clarify where true blessings lie and settles the joy within once again.
Thank you, Anne.
