This year i established the practice of keeping a happy journal. Partly to make myself more aware of all the joy I am blessed with in this life. Somewhat so that my descendants will come to know and understand me intimately and the things that brought me joy. In those moments when I am present enough to notice myself experiencing joy, pleasure, and happiness, I write it down. I think I like this expanded practice of saving an image to go with the entries. Some days, this gets to be my life. When you find yer happy place, lean in. Don't spend too much of yer heart space thinkin on how fragile it all is, the long walk through the ashes of the time that came before, er all the places that'll have to be coaxed open to make space fer all the happy. Just lean in, and Give Thanks.
