Then when you look back, you'll recall the aroma of the peanut butter, the whiteness of the snow, the way the grape jelly slid out from beneath the layers of bread, the sweetness on your tongue. All of it!Page Lamberthttp://www.pagelambert.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608134443246627504.post-31101768841528973912018-01-03T13:39:03.471-07:002018-01-03T13:39:03.471-07:00It is a very popular notion these days that one is...It is a very popular notion these days that one is better off experiencing true happiness and joy by staying in the moment; to slow down and notice what is happening in present time in order to appreciate it. I think this is true, but it is also a great gift that our minds can deliver a marvelous joy by reveling in our past. Today as the snow sashays to the ground, I'm looking out my window and thinking of how us kids would spend an entire day outside in the snow. Our mother packed our pockets with peanut butter sandwiches and off we'd go to hike across a cornfield and build forts in the snow. Gorgeous writing, Page.

For me, joy brings us out of ourselves into something bigger, and then feeds back in enlarging happiness and deepening contentment. Joy is the moments when "heaven and nature sing," as the Christmas carol evokes. And it is fragile, easily quelled. Happiness is hardier, can endure as a state of mind through a lot more. Yet joy can be recovered in memories when those moments are relived. Happiness cannot. It's there, or not.<br /><br />wishing you many joys in your New Years.<br /><br />Mary Estill<br />Mary Estillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608134443246627504.post-42521769222149580942018-01-02T12:36:41.432-07:002018-01-02T12:36:41.432-07:00Thank you for sharing this.
