Moments of Joy

Watching the children next door
     chasing their new puppy around the yard every day.

Memes on facebook:
     “ . . .here I am laying on the couch, being a hero”.

A wave from the Rich and Charlie's delivery man
      as I pick up dinner on the door step.

Leisurely reading a library book
        with no due date in sight.

Loved ones thinking of us
       with unexpected notes and treats in the mail.

Saying “YES” to a chocolate chip cookie
       on my Panera delivery order.
A snake, guitar strumming, snapchat faces:
      Zooming with teen-age grandchildren.

Video collage of of church members
      waving anything green on Palm Sunday Processional.

Calling the shut-ins and hearing Martin’s excitement
     that his grandson would play football with Tampa Bay.

Rachel’s banner  on the front page of the newspaper.
      “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise”.

Seeing old, familiar faces
      in my Face Time exercise class.

 One banana and a 2 lb can of Van Camps Pork and Beans
     on my grocery delivery.


In this Time of Pandemic.
Releasing anxiety, tension:

Moments of Joy.

  1. Your joys are prayers of gratitude for all that goes unremarked when we are too busy to notice. The photo says "Amen" to it all.
