I recently did a post on joy, whether it can be counted, measured, tracked and given a number. Well, the jury is still out on that for me, but I did figure out a bit more about what joy is. It isn't always running around screamingly happy or the out loud whoops of joy or running around raising hell with your friends. Though these things can be sources of joy sometimes. Outlets, I guess. But it settled on me tonight that joy is in the simple things. Talking to your girl for even just a few minutes. Watching a favorite TV show, even though you've seen every episode, and still loving it. Playing the video game you just bought, replaying an old favorite. Or just chilling around the pad with an old friend, having a few beers, eating pizza and just letting all the bullshit out their roll on by without touching you. At least, for a night. Ah... Gods bless simple pleasures!
