3. The pure joy of my pups when I come home from work...

Or in from taking the trash out, or from being in the shower...Any time I'm gone longer than 30 seconds, the reunion is like they can't believe their luck that I'm back and that I love their little furry bodies

Lately what's really given me joy is watching a friend go through her pregnancy and being so absolutely thrilled for her. I've never had children, and after a surgery last year, will never be able to. I thought this pregnancy would be hard on me for that reason, but it hasn't been. Seeing her excitement and the love she has for her 3 year old daughter while "growing" new love for this little baby we haven't met yet has been great for me to see.

Oh, and those days when I come home and my boyfriend has made dinner, or picked up my favorite dessert, or dusted/vaccumed. Those little things really give me joy, too.
