We popped into our neighborhood Panera for sandwiches, and some primo people-watching time. There was a young girl dressed in her red and green tutu skirt, complete with her hair done in a puffy topknot--she was like a Christmas butterfly as she flitted around and spun in happy circles. And then there was the precious elderly couple, still so in love. She adored him, and it was easy to see he felt the same about her. Melted my heart. Next to us there was an aunt and her niece, and they were trading turns taking each other's photo with an iPhone. Their giggles were contagious, for sure!
Mum's hot tea came in a to-go paper cup, and I love love loved the message of joy it proclaimed. This year in my my Christmas cards I wished people hearts full to the brim with joy, so when I saw this cup, it was like receiving a Christmas card of my own! A small moment, but one to tuck inside and savor.
Now that Christmas is over, I'm hoping you still have joy. Happiness is come and go, but joy... Joy can be present no matter what! Savor your joys, my friends!
