Theres joy in the everyday. What does this have to do with beans? . This is a container full of pinto beans that are soaking in water. When I look at it I get a little flash of joy and satisfaction. Why? So many reasons: . I remembered to soak them well before I wanted to use them! Finally! I recently switched to dried beans from canned which is more cost-effective and maybe more healthy. Im cooking beans this evening Saturday evening which means were not giving in to the weekend pull of going out to eat. . So this little container of beans represents how I am intentionally making little choices that support some of my current priorities: healthy eating frugality taking good care of myself. This- making choices that are in line with my values (even when its a small choice)- is coherence and I am realizing what a sense of satisfaction and joy it brings. Joy isnt all about vacation days and eating fancy cheeses (hi holidays!)... sometimes its soaking beans. Tell me whats one small thing thats bringing you joy right now?
