Even while following guidelines for social distancing, there are things to notice that give us joy. Today, while walking in my neighborhood, I saw flowers blooming in very small front yard garden. I saw sections of sidewalk colorfully marked up in chalk with an obstacle course type of game, obviously a family’s own invention. At home, as I withdrew a piece of workout apparatus from the narrow alcove between the window and wall unit, I marveled at how it fit the space perfectly. Identify three things in your immediate surroundings that give you joy. What are the special qualities that touch you. Think about how you might practice seeing these objects with renewed enthusiasm.
