Moments of Joy

Yesterday I went to a meeting

where the first agenda item

was for everyone to relate

a moment of joy they'd experienced

since the committee had last gathered.

Only one? We last met two months ago!

How can I cast out all the moments of joy

to focus on only one?

Here are just a few moments of joy

in the last few weeks.

Watching Logan play at the Zoo.

Playing with blog friends

Rebecca

Deb and

Steph

on a most magical sojourn to Mexico.

The beat of the drums fueling the dance

Celebrating my paternal and maternal grandparents,

my mother-in-law, 

and Shadow (my cat who died in January) 

and Latté (my bichon friesé who died in June)

on the Day of the Dead altar in San Miguel

and inviting their spirits to be with me.

In my world view, the more you focus on joy,

the more joy you experience.

If I started a meme on JOY,

would you play along one day a week?

What day would be best?

Not Friday. Friday's for haiku.

Is there a day of the week

you'd like to focus on joy?
