There is little joy in keeping to ones’ self knowledge, wealth, and life lessons. But the one thing that brings joy to my life is doing something seemingly small – a smile and “Good Morning” to a stranger; letting a grandchild know that they are special by giving them the privilege of spending time in my office alone, just because; encouraging friends to take a chance at doing something new, then holding them up to make it to the finish line.
I don’t think there is ever just “one thing” that brings joy to anyone’s life.
Simple things, like getting up early and enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the Spring birds set on the power lines above. Feeling the cool breeze of a Fall wind after a brutally hot summer.
I don’t think there is ever just “one thing” that brings joy to anyone’s life. None that take precedence over any other.
Except showing another person that you recognize them, and that they matter enough to me to at least give them a smile.
What are your simple pleasures in life that bring you joy?
