Accomplishing a task successfully brings me joy. A day well spent in cleaning my house, reading, having good food, conversations with friends, a cup of hot coffee on a rainy day bring me joy. Learning new skills, working out, having a hearty laugh with a friend bring me joy. Living with joy in difficult times is to be hopeful but not blind to other's sufferings. Being empathetic and making the most of the time we have with each other on this planet.
