This week's Top Ten Tuesday is open-ended, even suggesting we make a list that is not book-related. Hmmm...So here goes...

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
Ooh nice topic! Great moments here too!

These are some great moments and memories. I write a daily gratitude journal that I began during the dark days of the early pandemic. I love the saying in the second to last picture - so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteMy theme this week is Natural World
What a lovely post and so many good things to be grateful for :) That sounds like a very great habit to keep. Sometimes I feel I'm too pessimistic, so maybe doing something like this would help in turning my eye to the bright side of things more often!
ReplyDeleteThrilled to make your list! I hope your year continues to be full of good things. I’m hoping to return to blog writing and commenting soon.

ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome topic, Deb. It's great to highlight and think about the good things in our lives. The news does a fine job of pointing out the troublesome things. It looks like you've had lots of wonderful things happen this year.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've had quite the year already! Cool on your yard being a wildlife habitat. :)
ReplyDeletewow, thanks for sharing all these wonderful moments!
ReplyDeleteAll good things. This put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteYour good things are always my favorite parts of your posts so I love this -- A LOT!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post! It's an amazing habit and extra fun to be able to look back at like you did for this post! I may need to start doing this too :)
