Woo-hooo! Time to kick off the first linky party for The Little Bliss List - a chance for all of us to celebrate the little things that brought us hope and happiness this week. I do believe when we focus on the sweet stuff of life, the sweet stuff multiplies. And by sharing those small gifts in our lives, we help others notice the gifts in theirs. So, share your own lists in the comment section or post one on your blog {and link up below}. As Ralph Emerson said, let’s scatter joy…
My Little Bliss List
1) American Idol is back, baby – and I’m still such a fan. So far, I’m rooting for Phillip Phillips and Shelby Tweten. Loved their inspiring stories and unique voices.
2) This Minnesota girl is LOVING the mild winter weather. Walking outside in January with my coat unzipped?? Bliss, indeed.
3) The heartfelt response to my Monday post – “Mom, What’s My Purpose?” – filled me up and sparked new ideas. Thank you.
4) Listening to Truman’s belly laughs as Ryder read him bedtime stories on Wednesday night. I can never get enough of that sound or the sight of those two snuggled together.
5) Breakfast with a friend whose handmade biz is flourishing. Fantastic to see her renewed energy and focus!
<—— 6) Oh, that face! Yesterday, I saw Tru tell Daisy to sit…and then he put his face up to hers and barked at her! Ha! She’s no saint, but she’s such a good sport with those crazy kids.
7) Stopping by Pinterest for quick shots of inspiration and color. So many awesome ideas, beautiful art and stunning photos. Swoon.
Okay, it’s your turn! Share your sweetest moments from the past week , either by linking your blog below or sharing your list in the comments. Can’t wait to see what’s bringing you joy!
{Note: you can link up your blog here through Sunday at 11:59pm central – a fun way to attract new readers + scatter joy!}
This is such a fantastic idea, Liv – holding on to simple joys is such a wonderful way to stay positive (even in tough times).
Thank you for putting this together… Seeing other people’s lists just adds to the happiness

So glad you’re here, Misty!
Fantastic idea! Who among us doesnt’ need some more positive energy in their daily lives
Love this link party! But I had some trouble with Mr. Linky and kept getting an error, I see it posted 4 x. Oops! Sorry about that!
LOL! Four times the bliss, then! It’s all good.
My Bliss List!
1. Babysitting the grand-dog Scooby! Love it! Our own 2 dogs have been gone 4 years now and I sitll miss he heck out of them – but Scooby brings the dog bliss back in the house!
2. Bowlng! I joined a monday night league with a old bestever friend and her partner! Us 3 girls are having a blast!
3. The rewards of slowly uncluttering! Gave away boxes of magazines to a small school in southern MN and a bag of 1955 ceramic christmas lights to a woman who uses them for garden art – AND she gave me two fireflys she made! Awesome!
4. My Baby Boy who turns 25 this weekend! He took me downhill skiing for the first time in 15 years and put up with his slow mom while he was snowboarding circles around me.
Next week will be even better!
I love that you traded items with an artist, both of you turning trash into treasure. How great is that!? Thanks for participating, Debbie!
