There are times the holiday season is not only difficult, but emotionally hammering.
Other times, you see little moments that bring joy. It’s in those moments that we find the real happiness.
A walk with your best friend. A dog bounding in and out of snow piles. One of your kids exclaiming they are awesome and telling you “just because I am”. A blue jay landing on your deck, asking for a peanut.
All of these micro-joys.
Yes that is as powerful of a word as micro-aggression.
They’re what lift your spirits over the challenges of day-to-day life during a lockdown.
