"Jubilant festivities are the advertisement, the indication, the hieroglyph of joy; but most often joy herself is not there … Where she really presents herself, she usually comes without being invited or announced, often for the most insignificant and trivial reasons, introducing herself in silence in the most mundane circumstances, on occasions that are far from brilliant or glorious” -arthur schopenhauer

or as vonnegut said 'sometimes you must stop and look around you and say 'if this isn't nice,i don't know what is',referring to a moment of sitting under the shade of a tree with some lemonade with his brother.

Simply joy ❤️…

Being with the person that makes you the happiest (no illusions or hiding your true feelings from yourself and others)

Joy is the true gift of Christmas, not expensive presents that demand time and money. We can transmit this joy simply: with a simile, with a kind gesture, with some small help, with forgiveness. Let us give this joy and the joy given will be returned to us...Let us pray that this presence of God's liberating joy will shine in our lives.

Pope Benedict XVI

Simply Joy.

I was happy today.

Absolutely nothing special happened. The sky was distracting. It was warm and breezy. I was completely seduced by today.

Everything culminated to an ornate sunset. The color combinations were hypnotic. The sun said its final goodbye's and left us in the trusting hands of his lover, the moon.

The moon was modest and left some of her to the imagination. The stars strived to overcome the city lights, and somewhere triumphant.  The air was smooth. The scent of the fall leaves and the woody branches made the perfect ending to my day.

I said my good nights and welcomed sleep...

Until tomorrow.
