Contradiction in terms? Joy and Chronic Pain? Perhaps.

Depends on one’s perspective.

The bloom of color and light from my gardens … The sounds of water whirling in a full dishwasher and the hum of the dryer rotating; or the aroma of fresh-ground and brewed coffee … and spicy chicken slow-cooking in the Crock Pot; and the comfort of napping fur-kids at my feet. These things present me with an opportunity for Joy.

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with. ~Mark Twain
