Mike, this is a very touching read. Each paragraph dedicated to different segments of joy. Joy that is all around us in our everyday lives, without looking too hard.
I like how you have titled each point with the thing that gives you joy.
Just a comment on this line in the - Planting Seeds.
She touches the florets in the center then looks the yellow pollen the tip of her finger.
Do you mean to say...
She touches the florets in the center then looks (at) the yellow pollen (on) the tip of her finger.
Thank you for sharing this uplifting and most enjoyable read. ~DD

Cool about those "emerald" eyes (my faux surname!) So, I'm already biased in your favor. Love the bit about Stephie's lack of interest in getting down and dirty--I loathe yardwork myself! Cheers. LIZ

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Yes, to think on pleasant and good things will help in times of trouble and fear. Joy begins in the heart. You came up with four good mini-stories proving the point. Good post!

Comment from Pearl Edwards
Lovely write Papamike and thanks for sharing with us the special things that make you smile and bring joy to your heart. I think some that are outright now stripping supermarket shelves could do with stopping and thinking about something simple like a smile to share.
Enjoyed,
cheers

You did a fine job writing about what puts joy in your life. We should all do that so we are not overcome with all the bad. I did not find one mistake. Shirley

Comment from royowen
I heard that a preacher who hails from South Africa, but is stationed in America, predicted this pandemic in 2016, he said it would end as mysteriously as it appeared, but return ten years later. His name is Rodney Howard-Brown, Also some mystic, gather your faith bro. Pray against it. Well done, beautifully written, blessings, Roy

Hello, my friend. My wife and I were talking about the next one to hit. What frightened me was the mass panic in America. We saw a different side of people then. Many thanks for your kind words!
Have a great day and God bless.

Great time to witness Mike, here too, people behaving the proverbial deer in the headlights.
Comment from Sally Law
How rich you are, Papa. A happy heart has a continual feast. It's true. We are much alike. I find my joy in the simple things although these days writing gives me as much or greater joy than reading. Who would have dreamed of such a thing? Sending you my best today as always,
Sally xoxo

Hi, Sally. I was in Wal-Mart yesterday shocking the crap out of people by wishing them a good day and actually smiling. It was stunning. Many thanks for your kind words!
Have a great day and God bless.

Comment from estory
This format is really innovative and interesting, I liked how you created these little interrelated vignettes of hope and love. The eyes of your wife, the man helping out with a charity drive, the child planting her first garden; all these are images of hope in action. Love in action. There's also a great sublimity to the tone, an inner peace that radiates from these scenes. A tranquility. estory
