Joy is:

• snuggling with a sleepy puppy
• staying in and wearing sweatpants
• Chemex coffee out of your friend's favorite mug
• afternoon sunlight
• planning for a new knitting project
• unraveling a completed knitted project I never really liked
• homemade maple-glazed scones
• discussing the merits of eyebrow pencil
• FaceTiming with my mom to look at fabrics and plan her next quilt
• Sunday supper of roasted brussels sprouts and chicken legs
• enduring friendships
• realizing answered prayers and insight years later
• reliving the joys and hardships of the last year, and praising God for all of it

Joy is brimming out of my heart right now.
