What brings you joy?

I’ve been wondering lately what people are doing that brings them joy. You know, simple things that make you happy, give you some moments of pleasure.

A friend tells me she recently unearthed some of her daughter’s children’s books and plowed through her favorite series. DH messes around with his boats. My crafting buddies are making beautiful greeting cards to stay in touch with family and friends. I love watering my garden and watching it grow.

After DH brought home some fresh raspberries I made Dutch babies, a simple dish made with eggs, flour, and milk that cooks up a little like a souffle and forms a thick custardy pancake in the middle. That’s plain yogurt under the raspberries so it isn’t overly decadent. I’ve served it with other fresh fruit and even just maple syrup. It’s a simple pleasure that I make infrequently enough that it’s special.
