 I was at a Buddhist retreat over the weekend and then yesterday catching up, so here are a bunch of joys:

• Watching the sunrise while waiting to start morning meditation
• 36 hours of silence, except the teachings 
• Great feeling of peace from absence of all news 
• And the Welcome Center for Space People in the tiny, backwoods town of Bowman, SC (picture on LJ--still can't manage to get one here)

Hope all of you have many, many joys to balance out your lives.
