Joy -Day 2

Okay...Here I am...Its only 9:30pm and everyone is sound asleep in their beds! The T.V. is off,because there isn't anything worth looking at. And I am trying to reflect on some joy today.
The first thing I thought of is the trip to the post office today. I have one hand holding the hand of my 3 year old grand daughter and the other hand in full of letters and such that need special attention. Lately she has started talking to every one like she is in a wind tunnel. When she speaks, she uses her loud voice. Like every one is hard of hearing. I know she hears well. Just try to open a piece of candy in its crackly wrapper as stealthy as you can. Even try it in the next room. She hears it and comes running. So her sound volume is temporarily broken and only knows loud.
The post office is full of people ,hustling and busily getting their packages sent. No one really seems to notice us standing there, until....She announces, in her loud voice, that she has to poop! I told her to quietly wait for just a few minutes and we'll go. So she starts hopping up and down saying "I gotta poop!" The look on every face in the store was, well, priceless. Needless to say, the clerk paused with helping his customer,and showed us to the bathroom in the back. It still makes me giggle thinking about it.
Okay, it may not seem that funny to you. Kinda had to be there in the moment. But it brought joy to my heart. I am not sure why. Was it her honest and get to the point attitude? Or maybe it was the lady that looked at me, like I was the one that had said it? I am still not sure if she was shocked because the little girl made the announcement or if she was frightened by it. I don't know. I just wish I could show you her expression. It was ,like I said, priceless.
And another thing. I love chocolate. And as I sit here and share this moment with you, I am enjoying my little piece of heaven,chocolate. Mmmm. I have chosen two joys to share with you. The house is quiet, I have chocolate and a pleasant thought about the day. Mmmm..three joyous moments. Here I am...choosing joy.
