Joy is

• Your sons carrying around rocks and leaves that they found for you, that meet clear expectations, and exceed them.
• Quiet in the forest; Sanctitude
• Solving a problem that you did not know existed.
• Sharing what you know.
• Listening to good music.
• Gaining knowledge with others.
• The freedom to understand, create and share.
• The ability to express yourself confidently in any media (textual, verbal, visual, code, physical).
• Being able to see a problem for what it is: a construct that a dog would not care about.
• The ability to cook a delicious meal and share it, and the knowledge of how to make it with those you care about.
• The ability to see nonsense for nonsense, and simply letting it go.
