Thank you for this perspective. Life has been hard lately. I've been struggling and it hasn't really felt like there's been room for much joy. I like the idea of just noting the small joys that pop up each day. Reading your newsletter this morning, I honestly didn't really expect to spot that joy today. And then this evening, my wife captured this incredible moment with me and our dog, and there it was, a little bright spot in the day. I hope I can continue to look for and find these moments in the days ahead.

I’ve kept a joy journal as well, writing down three joyful things in my day. Small things are big! Never underestimate the joy from the small things in life. :) I wrote a post about this in my newsletter once.
Your joy list made my heart flutter in the lightest, happiest way. The great thing, too, of course, is that if we're lucky, and pay attention, one sequence of tiny joy moments after another is what makes up a life.
So we'll written and well said as usual! I have a gratitude journal as well and it's so helpful ☺️ thank you Katie once again for a way to improve my day. I'm struggling today, I got a diagnosis I wasn't thrilled about but I can treat it and maybe even get better and live my best life. Xoxo.
This is like the third time recently I have heard the recommendation to start a gratitude journal or list, but I feel like listing the small joys is much more achievable. I am going to try it. Thank you (again) for sharing something that seems be exactly what I need <3
