310 - The Little Bliss List


Every Friday, on her blog - blog.livlane.com, Liv Lane is publishing her "Little Bliss List", which will consist of some of the blissful events she experienced for that week. The word she has chosen to represent her year is "bliss". Liv is also conducting an exciting blogging course, and has invited anyone from her class who wants to make little bliss lists to join in the fun. Count me in!

1. Watching a little gnome garden develop on my plant shelf this week.

2. Going to the library and picking out books for my grandson Andrew's story time at his school. It's a hoot to browse through little kids' books!

3. The privilege of sitting in front of a bunch of wide-eyed first graders who are listening with rapt attention as I read from my stack of fun book treasures.

4. Playing Connect 4 with my grandson, Nate and Andrew, and my husband Tom. I got beaten fairly every time, mostly because I was laughing too hard to concentrate.

5. Finding the perfect orchid for my 94 year old Papa for his indoor winter garden, and his darling appreciation. First I gave him amaryllis bulbs, then paperwhite narcissus bulbs, and now gorgeous orchids! Hooray!

6. Running into the warmth of the house after being out in the sleety rain and having a wonderful cup of tea in my favorite mug.
