The Ten on Tuesday prompt this week (by CarolKnits) is ordinary things that bring you joy.
1. Coming home after being out on a really cold day - and jumping right into my cozy pj's - even before dinner - imagine that!
2. Turning off the tv - and just sitting with the fan quietly whirring in the background while I curl up and read my book.
3. Singing rock-a-bye baby to my cat each morning....
4. Coming home with some new books that I've just bought - and sitting down to peruse each one - read the cover blurbs - read a page or two. And then pick out the perfect bookmark to use...
5. Looking out each night before bed - to see the moon. I usually call out - well hello moon.
6. A big glass of chocolate milk. If there happens to be some peanut butter on Ritz crackers to go along with it - that is even better...
7. Learning a simple new knitting technique - something that I haven't been able to do in the past - but all of a sudden - blam, it clicks - and allows me to knit something I wouldn't have tried before...
8. Reading - simply reading - I love it!
9. Knitting - that little thing we do with sticks and string - that brings me countless joy and peace...
10. Taking a hot shower - just standing in there with the water running over my neck and shoulders - taking out all the kinks .... and just getting some alone time to think or sing or cry...

I wholeheartedly agree - reading and knitting bring lots of joy! I may have to try your chocolate milk and peanut butter on Ritz crackers combination; I bet I would really be in heaven if I enjoyed them while reading!
Number one is the best - I have a long commute home, so sometimes that's the first thing I do after I get in and feed the dogs. There's nothing better than putting on your pajamas early. It signals that you are in for the night, and anything that happens from here on is going to be comfy and cozy.
Love your whole list. I'd add: Wearing a knit hat that fits well.
dusting powder...its coming back in fashion
oh Linda, I'm going to sing ROck a bye to Fezzik when I rock him. He loves to be rocked. Love your list
Kathy - I once made a hat - think for the first time - and I thought, hey what can it hurt to use needles two sizes bigger (all that I had)... Well, I found out! LOL! It came down over my face!
My Mom still uses dusting powder....
Linda
Awesome list! Makes me want to curl up in my pj's with a good book and some knitting. Add in a mug of hot cocoa, too!
