We all need joy in our life, and for most of us that means noticing those little things:

the way clouds gathered on the eastern horizon to welcome the sun this morning,

one of bulls with a full belly laying on his side looking like a bloated brown barrel,

the big dipper resting on its handle,

little brown-grey birds nestled into the protection of the thick lilac bushes,

a hug and an “I love you” as you leave into the whatever the day brings.
