The Best Second Hand Bags Stores in Melbourne

But really the joy comes from the responses I get from people... That my crazy pots give them joy. And that my posts about my pots give them joy. Being honest and real in the way I talk about my work, not succumbing to the pressures of the art world to be serious & boring. Having people connect with that honesty and playfulness.
To answer your question about joy, as my life has not been one of privilege, I find joy in moments of deliberate mindfulness. Small rituals like a steaming cup of tea or the pages of a beloved book become microcosms of joy, tiny testaments to life's quieter beauty.Creating music, art, or words preloved designer bags mirrors the unfiltered exuberance you describe with The Bad Seeds. I find joy in the transition from chaos to harmony, seeing dissonant thoughts sculpt into melody, sentences, or images.Joy also lives in grief's shadow.

I find joy in the patience it takes waiting for a reply from an old and dear friend, our relation deepened and renewed after twenty or so years.It has been a long and hard road to find this patience, to find such joy. I have written in from time to time over the past two or so years and it has helped me immeasurably to know you have read and listened to me, along with so many others that write in. Your responses rarely disappoint.Two years ago I lost my partner, my dog, the house I lived in. I moved into a shared flat, and onto social security. I would wake up in the middle of the night and for the first time know what feeling true dread meant.
I used to dread dusting this area, there are just so many pictures to move. The frames are awkward shapes and sizes, some are heavy. Then I made a point to really look at each picture as I dusted it and over time this has become a weekly gratitude practice for me.I pick up the nearest picture, my mother, taken from this world too soon and without warning. My first great loss, now decades in the past and just yesterday. I remember taking this photograph.

There is also an enormous amount of 'Weltschmerz'. What are people doing to each other? To animals, to our lovely planet?
Joy to me is essentially an outlook, or at least a product of optimism. In my experience the occasions that are joyful, whether big events or small, all require that basic belief that things will be alright, that good times are ahead.Sometimes we are in the maelstrom and this is impossible, and the door is closed to joy. If we are fortunate enough for the stress to retreat though, and the clouds to part, then joy is the release – the song we sing along to, the coffee and biscuit we sit and enjoy, the friend we hug, the walk through the park, the child we play with. Joy is the release, and the belief (however short-lived) that we are on the path to better things. Where I Find My Joy To find joy I need to find connection To find connection I need to seek connection This isnt always quick or easy, as not everyone wants to connect with me andnot all people, are my people.
I was introduced to your music by my ex partner - the cause of my heartbreak. I am at a point now where I can be grateful to him for various things including him sharing his love of your music. In my attempts to seek awe and wonder in nature to help soothe my heartbreak, I went to Iceland earlier this year and discovered you were playing in Reykjavik. This serendipitous encounter was exactly what my heart needed. Your sharing of vulnerability through song cracked me open.

Joy is sharing a glass of wine with a girlfriend and chatting about anything and everything. It’s a feeling, it’s a smile, it’s an experience, it’s warmth, it’s uplifting. I was moved to reply to your question as this is something I have been thinking a lot about lately.

The scales are not balanced between us humans and that sucks. I do the silly thing therapists and gurus remind us to do on a regular basis and write down, draw or paint about  the things I am grateful for. It's an ongoing practice, I forget about it sometimes. But when I get knocked off the "healthy horse" and my head gets overwhelmed and my sleep gets shittier...
I left my phone in my purse and watched Grackles (birds) pick at the ground next to me. At the same time, I felt the first cool breeze in Austin since June. My heart lifted and my problems floated away with the wind. It was a pure reprieve from my thoughts... I will seek more of this type of joy today. I found joy when someone (guess who?) older and wiser made me realize that memory is fragile and I started to write again.

Joy is fleeting, transcendent, and more intense compared to the enduring, more stable emotion of happiness.This is perhaps why joy escapes you. You cannot catch it, control it, or feel it on demand. It is always present but often hidden in the noise of the day, requiring our attention to be ready to notice it when it decides to reveal itself. Practicing gratitude daily is perhaps a way to prepare ourselves to be ready and have the best chance of noticing joy when the time comes.Perhaps this is why joy is better understood or felt—“brought into focus,” as you said—through what we have lost.
Sometimes however, I choose to focus awareness on sorrow, for this helps to validate my feelings of sadness and teach me about the length and breadth of Love. There is a mournful comfort in this. At other times, I choose to bring my presence back to Joy, for she shines a light on the here and now and on my heartfelt connections with myself and others.I invite both Joy and Sorrow in.
Now that, my red-handed friend, blew me away. I don't know how or why I reacted as I did to this piece of his music, but I did, his mood and struggles soaring across the centuries and I was there to receive it. So there you go, music is my joy. I buried my child in between the notes of a Bach partita because she gave me the same transcendent joy. Sometimes, when deconstructing the parts of myself that I perceive as bad, it can feel like joy is being replaced by guilt or shame.
