~Project Commonplace Joy~

Project Commonplace Joy

The Project:

What are things that bring you joy, comfort, or take you on a trip down memory lane?

Perhaps they go unnoticed until we truly sit down and think about it.

Let’s shine a light and give a round of applause for Commonplace Joy.  

Your answers to the questions below might seem like a string of random thoughts,

but you know the depth of sentimentality and happiness that they bring.

Feel free to add to the list!  Go crazy on telling me what brings you joy.  

You can give multiple answers for any of these or skip any questions that you want.  

Some suggestions: An everyday victory, childhood book, wedding song...etc. etc.

If you feel so inclined, I would love to hear the stories and reasons behind your answers.  

Or you can keep it vague!
