By SUSAN DROMEY HEETER, Joyful Musings

Every once in a while, it’s simply lovely to stop and remember what’s good, what’s worth a pause, what inspires gratitude.  So, today, dear musers, I write a list of good moments, of pauses, of reflections of joy.

• A full gallon of milk in the fridge
• Hey! It’s so good to see you!
• Here’s your refund.
• A good long walk in the woods
• Daffodils’ heads peeking out
•  Next episode?
• A new set of markers
• Car passed inspection
• The baby’s asleep
• Pomp and Circumstance
• I’m ready!
• New sunglasses
• Sorry, I can’t make it.
• No
• Have you lost weight?
• Happy Birthday! Let’s go CAKE.
• Three o’clock on Friday afternoons.
• Thriftycast Podcast, all about Thrift Shopping.
• A new roll of toilet paper.
• Packing a suitcase.
• Trader Joe’s Filet Mignon.
• Enchiladas con Queso.
• Jump in, the water’s great!
• He’s just a weirdo.
• Why not?
• I’m a writer.
• The women of SNL
• A beautiful lamp
• The thought of summer
• Meeting a deadline. 

Be well, musers, celebrate the joy in all.
