Joy

There seems to be a belief that it takes a huge effort to bring about a great joy, and it's only from those periods of sustained happiness that people can possibly get any kind of benefit.  But it's really from the little joys, whether received or given, strung out along the line of our lives like pearls, that we learn. It helps, I think, if we take time to look at each one carefully and enjoy it as it comes into our hands and out again, tucking each one into our memories for safe-keeping.
