I Like

 At the beginning of November I started a joy practice.  I am generally a mostly positive and joyful person but sometimes our positive emotions can use some magnifying.  My joy practice is much like a gratitude practice.  I want to notice something that brings me joy and then sit with it.  Enjoy the joy.

I was driving passed a schoolyard the other day.  I noticed a young boy scoop up a big pile of leaves and throw them over his head.  It was absolutely delightful!

Another joy moment happened just before a yoga class.  Two friends came together.  They hadn't seen each other for a while and they gave each other the most beautiful long hug.  I felt their love and joy in that moment.  I was so grateful to get to witness it!

I will share one more joyful moment.  After a yoga class I told the teacher about my joy practice and for that day what brought me joy was her beautiful smiling face.  She then shared with me that she was having a tough time just then and what I said meant a lot.  My joy was doubled!
