A little while back I said a bit about Happiness, and I think Joy could be part of that. Even when there is difficulty, as we all know all too well in these times, moments of Joy are possible if we look for them. Sometimes, as C.S.Lewis recounts in his autobiography, ‘Surprised by Joy’ it can find you. Joy is kin to Gratitude, Hope, Mindfulness and more, and it’s good to remember such moments.

This morning I felt OverJoyed to hear of a young couple’s new twins arriving safely, bringing new life and hope. And the flowers bursting through every possible crack in the rock garden I’m looking at just now. 

In what small thing can you too find Joy, here, now? And hold the memory?
