Moments of Joy

It snowed here the other day.

You can see the joy radiating from her face. Shining through her eyes. Bursting from her whole being. I’m completely in love with this picture (and not just because it’s my daughter)!

Do you remember what it’s like to feel that way? Do you ever want to burst with joy after writing a particularly good bit of work? After receiving a glowing critique?

What brings you joy like that?

P.S. I deeply apologize for lack of responding to comments! My internet has been spotty at best. Hopefully things will improve next week when we switch providers. *grumble, mumble, asparagus*

10 Random Facts

Lindsay, over at Adventures in Writing, tagged me last week with a Random Fact post. So it is my privilege to share 10 random things about myself (the trick is to keep you from getting bored).

1. I bite my lip when I’m thinking. (My bottom lip really takes a beating when I’m writing.)
2. I have amazingly high arches. Shoe shopping is very difficult.
3. When I was age 6 or so, I randomly decided I was going to go to Harvard. That lasted until I looked at tuition prices in high school.
4. I learned to play the guitar because my college roommate took a class and I thought it looked fun. I have a reperatoire of about 10 songs I can play (including “My Grandfather’s Clock”). 😉
5. I once slipped a piece of broccoli down my shirt to avoid eating it. I totally got caught because it fell onto the kitchen floor before I could dispose of it.
6. My sister named the car I drove in high school “Calico.” (Bet you can guess why.)
7. The horn on Calico didn’t work. Except when it did. And then it tried to make up for lost time.
8. The passenger door on Calico wouldn’t stay shut in freezing weather. We had a lot of freezing weather my senior year.
9. When I was 15, I travelled to Mexico with my family to witness a total solar eclipse. It turned out to be cloudy.
10. I like coloring in coloring books.
