We
can have joy no matter what happens,
because joy stems from the
core of our being – it is a gift.

For me, joy can come in little ways
The first green shouts of spring
Seeing a friendly face
A chaffinch bathing in the gutters of my studio
Seeing a new kind of butterfly
Sharing my adventures
A great tit impressing his new partner with a worm
Sharing a laugh
Ants living in a dinky toy car in my garden
A had written letter in the post
The song of a blackbird on the roof
Watching my cat licking the last out of a yogurt tub
The scent of a wallflower
An invitation for lunch
An invitation for lunch
A blue tit remodelling
a bird nest
The arrival of the swallows
A good book
The garden smiling after heavy rain
Silence

I love that your garden smiles after heavy rain. :)
:-) I suppose in dry Australia that would be wonder?
Well certainly all of yours are wonderful! Blue tits on the feeder by my window, my dog gazing into my eyes, seeing the rich dark purple crocusses pushing up in the tub by the front door, oh, and the sliver of crescent moon last night, for a few.
Great to read your moments of Joy.
I can see them!!
Actually, in my part of Australia summer has ended and autumn has begun with quite a lot of rain, so the garden here is smiling in quite a waterlogged way. ;)
