So grateful for this one. Just beautiful and a reminder of how pervasive joy is, how it seems to multiply when it's shared.

“Bitterness scratches its body until it’s sore.

Walks around the room pointing at everything

"Throw it over your head like a blessing bestowed," !!!! Yes, yes and yes again! This joy is what we need and so much more of it! I will keep this as my mantra this week!
