This seems like the summing up of a recurring theme in my thoughts and meditations for quite some time; that joy and happiness is not a product or end result of certain actions, but part of the process of life.

I needed this reminder today, as the weight of the world and my endless unrealistic expectations of myself grow heavier. However, joy is always lurking in the background, ready to pop up unexpectedly, if too rarely. That is one of the great gifts of my life. Return to Joy might be a helpful mantra. Thanks for this, Melanie!
