Joy is still here.

Choosing joy does not mean pretending everything is okay. It means remembering that hard things and beautiful things can exist at the same time.

We call those small, beautiful things honeydrops: sunlight through the leaves, dew on the grass, a flower turning toward the sun, a smile from a stranger, a song arriving at exactly the right moment.

On easy days, we notice them without trying. On hard days, we search for them on purpose. We hold onto them. And little by little, they help carry us through.

Look for the honeydrops. Choose joy.
