Little Joys

A selection of things I was grateful for this year

Part of my regular morning routine includes prompts to enter things for which I’m grateful. Often, it’s something small like a warm rain, finding a cat whisker, and sometimes it is big like my partner calling me on my fatalism or a friend showing up for me. I log them to a pinned entry in my journal so it appears at the top of the list so I can find it if I need a little positivity.

Here’s a selection of things I was grateful for in 2022.
