Nuggets of joy

Where do you find little nuggets of joy

Each and every day, do you need your radar as decoy

Or do you soak them up, with negativity have no truck, find joy in tiny and in big

What makes you smile, is it sometimes naughty

Or is it always pc, like in a laboratory

Kindness brings smiles, humour maybe a belly laugh, then all those myriad that make us larf

Joy to each might have different hues

Recognising and counting it, it’s important to choose

Instead of your cares holding sway, ferret out those joys hidden in every day.

What could they be?

Something simple, that you see

A compliment

A message from a friend

Sharing a moment

An email or text to send

A smile from a stranger

The song of a bird

That shaft of sunshine

Beautiful music you just heard

Gifting your time to help another

Playing a joke on sister or brother

Sharing the joy of others

A hand being touched
