Getting Serious about Joy

I talk a lot about not taking things so seriously, learning to let go and be open to what life actually brings...not what you expect it to bring.

One of the things we have to take less seriously is our image of our bodies. I see people grieve over their weight, their underarm, what happens to their thighs when they smash them down against a chair or hard surface. We take our thighs so seriously.

Today, in a great conversation, I realize that some things (of course) are to be taken seriously.
One of which is joy.

What if we took joy more seriously? What if we prioritized getting and giving more joy?
What if we took time to think about joy, about the different sources of joy and the different ways that it can look in our life.

What if we took joy at least as serious as our thighs?
