Little thought of the day 💭
Do you miss joy because it just comes and goes without making a big deal. It's such an understated emotion that gets missed amongst the hurricane of anger, sadness and anxiety. It was a long time ago that I read this in Happy by Derren Brown but it has stuck with me... possibly because of how true it is.
We miss laughter with a friend, that really yummy lunch and the kindness of a stranger - all because of something more uncomfortable because it stands out or feels all consuming.
Maybe today you can notice joy at least once, when it turns up quietly, alone and unceremoniously ☺️
