My first thought was of joy but as I wrote my response, I realized what I really meant was gratitude, which of course, contains healthy doses of joy. I start just about every day in grateful prayer, expressing gratitude and feeling joyful for the simplest of things – for my cup of coffee, for a quiet place to read and reflect. My gratitude then runs the gamut of my daily experiences with deep feelings of gratitude for having people to love, and having people who love me. Gratitude, for sure.
