Little Frog, Big Joy

Starting todays post by sending out love to three friends who recently lost family members and saying, “Congratulations Mia” (who is like a niece to me) on her high school graduation.

Sometimes the littlest things in life bring me such joy and motivation. Like this frog (I think I’ll name him Froggie B for reasons one other person will understand 😆).

Last night I found that this little frog had climbed (hopped?) its way up the back of the house, onto the porch then up the back door, where I am sure it was enjoying a feast of bugs, especially after I turned on the outside light to take the pictures. All in all, he had to have scaled about 10 feet or more to get to this spot on my back door. And I was impressed 🤩.

The amount of energy it must have taken to make the journey. I barely like climbing the stairs to the second floor somedays and this little bugger did this. I think it was trying to shame me into losing weight 😜, and it might be working (see motivation 😁)!

It’s moments like this – the unexpected critter just hanging around outside of the house, the kids in my neighborhood being kids, walking outside and finding perfect weather (which it was for about 2 hours this morning, then 🥵) – that are a reminder to notice what in this world brings you joy. 

I love moments like this.

And I share this joy, this love with you in case you needed it today.

Note: I was once told by a man from Japan that frogs are sign good luck. If that is true, I hope in sharing the pictures of my little frog, it shares some luck as well 💜.
