What brought you joy today?

Posted by northoftheborder @northoftheborder, Jun 28, 2024

If you've been living with cancer for a while, you know it's not all gloom and doom. Where did you find joy today? I'll start:

1. Working in my garden.
2. Meeting my daughter for tea.
3. Home-made pizza for dinner.
4. My spouse (always).
5. Some interesting online discussions.
6. Rereading a good novel.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

My joy today is that God has given me the opportunity to be accepted at the Mayo Clinic.

I was born in a country that has socialized medicine Sweden...and I experienced first hand when my mother's cancer was neglected to the end of her days...To meet and feel the genuine professional outstanding care at Mayo clinic Urology give me so much joy happiness and hope.

*Not* doom-scrolling through the news every hour. 🙂

I do care about the world's problems, but I can't fix them single-handed, so I focus on helping people and exercising kindness and empathy within my actual reach.

We had a little bit of snow over night, changed to rain making the snow somewhat hard to move. My joy was after finishing shoveling out the driveway, I stopped and looked at it and was happy looking at what I just did, life's little challenges. Everyone have a good day.

Listening to favorite old music in my collection while feeling the strength returning in my body as I exercise. Beautiful sunshine day outside the window is just a bonus. Wishing everyone some joyful moments today.

I am enjoying the bright sunshine sparkling on the snow on a 15' day, and all the birds flocking to the feeders. I hope others can enjoy the winter beauty despite the cold.

Voting in the advanced polls for the provincial election.

Voting's always been a family activity for us: this time, my spouse and one of my daughters walked over with me, and we all cast our ballots for a great, caring local candidate.

Every election I live to see is another victory, no matter who wins at the polls. 💪
