I'm still trying to figure out what will be my most joyous moment today. I already vacuumed. That was pretty satisfying. I finished two of three progress notes. Not bad. I'm sipping a Coke. That's pretty happy-making!
But I still haven't experienced a moment of pure joy. Will it be the Indian Creamed Spinach that's currently in the oven? Will I finish another speaker surface? Will I finish another pair of coasters?
I know! I'm going to go swimming before our afternoon gig at the Old Folks Home. Maybe that will do it. Have you determined what you most joyous moment will be, or already was, on the sunny Summer Sunday?

Mine was the oven cleaning.
So it has already happened and now, back to reality.
Have a joyous Sunday.

Well, we got an air mattress to sleep on so we won't sleep on the tile floor tonight. That was very joyous! =)
I hope you enjoy your day.

@Courtlynn That's kind of the way I felt too. I went with spinach because it's light.

Well, it wasn't joyous, but it was pretty exciting. Watched a guy get arrested. The cop had his Taser out, but didn't use it. Just threw the guy on the ground after the dude hit him.

@teamfreak16 That means I probably won't hear about it in the news out here in CA.

It's early Monday morning here now, not much action yesterday because a typhoon passed as by pulling heavy moonsoon rains and it has been raining 3 days and another typhoon is on it's way.
So it's mostly preparing and checking equipments to be ready, that gives me joy too, I ordered another cheap tactical flashlight online and I'm excited waiting for it to arrive.

@TheHorse it has become natural occurance to us, this house had withstood hundreds of typhoons, super typhoons, numerous earthquakes since 1972. Its the occupants that needs to be prepared lol. I love the excitement of expecting something too, I the like song " Anticipation" by Carly Simon

Let us know when it happens! I did a gig today, scored some Scotch and lox on the way home, and have all but one progress note done. I think the best is yet to come, though. I have time to hit the pool and no other obligations this evening.

Mine was when my phone rang. I picked it up and it was my mama. She was actually able to dial my number today and then I knew she knew who I was, because she said , "Marie Come Swim with me".
and I did.
I hadn't planned on it, because my husband was home, but how could I say no to her. it was pure joy being in the pool with her.

I think, my most joyous moment, this morning occurred when the surgeon arrived to tell us that my fathers surgery had been successfully completed.....
Recovery may not be assured.....but we've crossed this hurdle.

Heh. I can't remember mine either. I think my most joyous moment Monday was at the preschool when a new parent thought I was Noah's dad, because of the way we interact. He's the 2 1/2-year-old who doesn't talk yet. He helps me set up in the mornings.

Yes, it is a sunny Sunday here in Wisconsin. Day three in a row without rain. My joyous moment was church this morning. My most unhappy moment was burning my fingers checking on my pot roast. They're all good. I tried the flour trick and it worked.

Tell us more about the flour trick. I burned my hand today as well! Church. I tend not to go to church. I haven't done anything overtly religious yesterday (the Jewish sabbath) or today (the Christian sabbath). Or did I? Yesterday, I saw a kid client who has been struggling. I don't usually work on weekends. But was I doing it to help the kid? Or keep my billable hours up? I reckon only God knows. I think maybe I'll put a Bach Cantata on my stereo before I head to the pool.

@TheHorse Someone here, or from the now demise site, posted about putting your hand in a bag of flour when you burn your hand. Flour will work on anything you burn, but it's easy to thrust a hand in a bag versus any other part of your anatomy. 
Instead of keeping my hand in the flour, I took a handful of flour and kept my hand clutched around the burn for several minutes. It worked. It still stung a bit last night and there was a white spot on my finger that could have formed a blister, but didn't and the finger is perfectly normal today. Not even red.
