David Larby

I'm capable of finding moments of joy.

There are plenty of opportunities.

And if I can find joy wherever I am, then where I am, joy shall be.

Next time your drink is the perfect temperature or your fork holds the perfect bite.

Next time you put on your favorite socks or adjust so you're sitting just right.

Next time you stumble across a great song that you haven't heard in a while.

Next time you catch eyes with a stranger who offers a nod or a genuine smile.

when you stretch your body and relax it again, when you take a deep breath and you sigh, when you get to relax at the end of a long day, when you turn your face up to the sky.

Remember, life is made of the average days, and each one offers joy aplenty.

The smallest joys are the simplest to find, and they add up more often than any.

I always pay attention when a small joy grabs me.

Some say easily pleased, I say frequently happy.

Because you deserve it, because I do too.

In our every day, may joy always shine through.

Thank you.
