In sleeveless weather in October
In glorious fall colors lining the road
In walking out of a counseling session laughing
In favorite tea, and getting some loose leaf to enjoy another day as well
In friends to share life with, even if it’s one text message at a time
In taco salad on a Thursday night
In the smile of a 1 year old
In a favorite outfit
In making music in a dark sanctuary
In sharing truth and inviting others in
In deep peace and steady hope
In all this and more… there is…
joy.
It’s not always loud. It’s not always “happy”. I’m finding the “quiet” joy is perhaps my favorite kind. A confident trust at the end of the day, that no matter what that day held, in the end it’s all going to be okay.
