Savoring the Shades of Joy
The beautiful thing about joy is that is comes in so many colors. Sometimes it’s quiet and deep, sometimes it sings in leaping flames, sometimes it dips itself in the sunrise and paints its whole spectrum across the length of your day.
Entire days of joy are as rare as rainbows, I admit. But almost always you can find a patch or two of joy somewhere: A smile here, a laugh there, a moment of connection with someone you love, a song that moves you, a surprise unfurled.
The trick is to pick them up when you find them; stick them in your happiness pouch. At the end of the day, string them all together in a little feast of savoring and delight.
The more you do that, the more joy-moments you’ll find. And one day, when you sit down to look back through the hours and see what your happiness bag holds, a whole rainbow of joy will pour out on your floor. And your eyes will mist over a bit at the sight of it as you realize how beautifully you’ve been blessed.
