Joy--this had me completely in awe, and crying by the end of it.

Gratitude - The Kindness of Strangers
Today I took a tumble at the bus station (I bus to work each morning). I don't know it happened, I just know that somehow I went from running for the bus, to being air born, and then landed on my left side.
I landed and immediately I was surrounded by legs, which belonged to people who were concerned with my welfare! There were many, "Are you OK?" questions, to which I was able to say yes, I was OK, I was just trying to get the bus. I was very embarrassed and not a little angry with myself for falling in public like that, but I was able to remember to thank people for helping me.
Someone asked me which bus I was trying to catch, and when I told them it was the #11, they looked out the doors, and one of them ran to stop the bus, which was going to leave any second.
I shuffled painfully out the door (most likely very red-faced), and someone was up at the bus, asking the driver to wait for me. I finally got there, and the driver asked me if I was OK. I said yes, thanks.
I'd started out having a bad-ish day (left my home later than usual, so wasn't able to stop for a tea and bagel, then falling), but I ended up very thankful for the kindness of strangers.

Joy and Wonder - Music!
If you smoosh these two together, it's exactly like my experience when I'm writing.

Joy - Kindness Everywhere
Today I had so many doors held for me (and I held for others, of course). I also was in line behind two ladies, one an older lady without a cart, the other younger with a cart. I was looking around (the line was long) and when I looked back, apparently the younger lady had offered part of her cart to hold the older lady's groceries! I couldn't hear what they were saying to each other, but both were smiling. :)
Gratitude - Found Hard-To-Find Seeds!
I've been looking for organic garlic for months (I have my first-ever community garden plots next summer!), and have found nothing, and I do mean NOTHING anywhere near me. So, I decided to look all over the country, and was able to find it way out in BC! Rather far to ship, but it's a small, independent farm, which I'm happy to support, and they also have ancho/poblamo seeds, which I was also looking for! There's so many recipes for those peppers, but I've only seen them once or twice here (like, ever) and they're usually pretty expensive. The shipping is $8, but it's most of the way across the country, and I hopefully can save some seeds, so I'm not too concerned. :)
