Things I Will Always Say Yes To
Ice cream on a hot day (who am I kidding? Yes to ice cream always!)
Hugs, snuggles, holding hands
One more chapter
Coffee with friends
Adventure, travel, exploring
Taking another picture
Singing loudly, quietly, in harmony
S’mores at a campfire
Listening to my husband play guitar
Trying something new
Catching fireflies
Star gazing
Watching my kids dance, sing, play soccer, long board, paddle board, kayak, swim. Whatever delights them, I will always say yes!
Walks in the freshly fallen snow
Hikes to waterfalls
Pizza
Reading books fireside
Church, devotions, Bible study
Jesus
I used this writing prompt- Things I Will Always Say Yes To- with my littles yesterday and their responses were magical. I am deliberately walking through the grief of the past couple years this week, trying to make sense of the heartbreak and the loss. There is deep sorrow for me in this and so I’m finding that I must couple it with simple joys; playing Yahtzee with my family, talking on the phone with my sister and my daughter, going out with friends, walks with my dog, coffee and scripture reading.
If you too are walking through a season of grief, I would encourage you to try writing out the things you will always say yes to. I hope you find the joy in this simple exercise and that you are reminded of all the good in your life in the midst of the hard.
