Every time I've posted these past few days, my blog title looks ironic. I'm not exactly a vessel of joy these days. I selected this title years ago not because I'm some happy-go-lucky, sticky-sweet optimist but because I try to cultivate joy as a spiritual discipline. For me, my joy is tied tightly up with gratitude. In other words, when I practice gratitude, I feel more centered joy. That isn't to be confused with happiness. Oh no, I'm walking through dark storms of grief sprinkled with puddles of despair on pretty much a daily basis right now. But still, I can find joy.
