grabbing joy
i was sitting with one of my fantastic friends yesterday, grabbing a coffee in the middle of our various days and tasks and we were laughing, as usual! the woman next to us said she couldn't help but notice how we were "grabbing joy" at which my friend got up and hugged her.
we had been looking at the latest "breathe" magazine spread out on the table, so we showed her that, swapped some tattoo stories, and went on our way.
my friend is kind and generous beyond imagining. we both know it's in the little things. saying please and thank you. asking a clerk how their day is and listening to the response. remembering what's going on for friends and family and checking in. showing up for people.
no sooner did i give my friend the magazine than she saw and bought a gorgeous hibiscus to give away. it's this kind of receiving and giving, no expectations or strings attached, just freely and spontaneously, with open hands with which we can hope to change the world.
how have you or how can you "grab joy" today?
