One of the wonderful emotions in the human experience is Joy. I feel it at various times ,many of these are immediate and often unexpected. It happens when I have the pleasure of a dear friend’s company, or hear the wondrous sounds of a favorite opera. Family is often the source of this heart warming experience or the moments when my writing has become more vibrant. The moments in life are legion when we open our minds and hearts to the wonder that surrounds us. The pleasure of joy is often seconds away when we make ourselves vulnerable to the treasures of our ordinary days.
