Watching my 3-year-old grandson is always cause for joy. So are my cats.

We can get so caught up with the noise of doom that we stop appreciating joyous moments that show up in our lives. I think the more we do pause and appreciate, the more we feel joy. Lovely post!

The "noise of doom" is such a great term - thank you for that. The noise can be overwhelming, and it's incredible how experiencing just a little bit of joy can help silence it.

Thank you so much for reading and your very kind comment, Paulette!

I was talking to a friend this morning about my strategies to stay grounded and be curious about where we're going and it slipped out of my mouth. I'm glad you resonate.

Your articles are a delight to my senses! I heard the dogs barking and playing and, oh my, the porcini ravioli was mouth-watering good. Thank you for taking me with you on your search for joy.

Thanks for these little points to joy - and the reminder to intentionally look for joy, rather than stumble upon it accidentally!
