My Joy Jar: Collecting Small Moments That Matter

When it comes to thinking of what matters, I find it very easy to do but for the moments that matter in my daily life, it doesn't seem easy to point just one. I'm one of those who have most of my days happy, with almost no reason to be sad.

Even on the days I feel sad, I don't let it overwhelm me. I spend more of my time daily doing what I love to do, eating what I like, not doing what I don't want to do and choosing what's next for me. It's rare to feel bad after that.

But the prompt is asking for small moments of joy in my daily life, there are a lot of times in my day to day life and I'll share the most littlest of them that gives me pure bliss in my everyday. It's something I know many can relate with me on.

Everyday is a busy one for me, I'm either busy online or offline and in both sides, I have a lot of things to do especially online. When people say, they had an hectic day, I've experienced it with just working online. So finding joy in it is a bliss.

One thing that gives me joy, might seem small to some but it really isn't is, getting my work done. It's not a rare feeling for most of us to feel overwhelmed when we have so much to do. And it's not rare to feel so relieved after work is done.

Aside the time I spend with God and reading from His words, getting to have my daily activities done are my joy. Especially for someone who procrastinate a lot, it is always a relief for me when a delayed work is done and done very well.

Clearing up my notifications on Hive gives me joy, having no house chores to do until evening gives me joy and watching the last episode of a series gives me joy. There are so many things to do in a day but the joy is getting them done when I can.

Another small moment of joy is chatting with friends, I can't even say it's a small moment as I learn more about myself through them and I see areas to improve on when I spend time with them. Aside that, there is the constant laughter.

Planning an exciting activity for the next days is another small moment of joy for me. I'm not good with making plans and seeing through with them but whenever I do, there is always the joy that comes with it so that counts as big for me.

On most of my days when I think back to happy moments, best decisions made, how much my life has improved and how well I'm doing with no much struggles, I feel a rush of joy in my heart and it is my sign to give thanks to God for them.

There are so many small moments that matters for me and as I think about them now, I feel happy. So glad I shared, it just made me realize just how much I value my everyday small joys.
