my joy thieves are-
negative people
dishonesty
life without dresses
long division
brussel sprouts
lost luggage on trips
not seeing people I love for long periods of time
my dad’s illness
dull pencils
when everything is serious all the time and no one laughs
having no fresh fruit in the house
losing perspective
gaining weight
getting lost
not being able to exercise
when something hurts my children
tax time
being cold
sorting socks
if I detect anyone feels even remotely sorry for me
being exhausted for too many days
forgetting my IPOD and having no music
the very rare and quiet moment when I feel like if I fell off the edge of the earth and
no one would notice
shoes that hurt
grocery shopping
WHAT ARE YOUR JOY THIEVES?

when I sip it and it has sugar I want to cry! I sometimes need to wear socks to bed! Yes Michelle I share your pain!!
Michelle says
Love the concept of this post! I agree with so many of them. For me its cold feet when trying to fall asleep, needing badly to find a bathroom and not being able to locate one, forgetting a load of towels in the drier and them smelling mildewy, and getting a coffee at the drive thru only to find its not made properly when you take the first sip.

gah, sometimes it’s me. but i can change that easily (sometimes!)
but my big one is knowing someone doesn’t trust you when you know that you are so very much so!
but i do love grocery shopping 🙂
