Joy is different than happiness. Happiness is something that measures how good we feel over time. But joy is about feeling good right now, in the moment.

- Ingrid Fetell Lee

I am aware suddenly of pockets of joy that appear throughout my day unexpectedly. Sometimes it is a past memory that resurfaces, bringing with it a feeling of elation that I allow to envelope me for few moments. Frequently it is a spark of color or a moment of wonder, that if given some attention, brings with it a feeling of hopefulness and glee. I am learning to pause and sit with these pockets of delights, enchanted with what surfaces.
