Random Moments of Joy

Ever have one of those days where you experience random moments of joy?  I bet like me, most days you do, but you just aren’t present enough to notice.  Yesterday I visited Oscar, a fellow MD Anderson employee, cancer survivor from Louisiana, who always has great stories to tell about playing with his five grandkids.  Oscar is a gentle giant, and as he talked I could feel the cascade of emotions that joy can bring.  I was smiling, laughing, but also felt the happy tears deep within my eyes.  Riding home through puddles left by the afternoon showers I passed freshly painted azalea bushes and thought, “How much better could today get”!  Be open to random moments of joy this weekend.
