Hale talked about last week in about how we should this things that make us joyful but it has made me think more about with joy really is and I have lots and lots of questions what kind of questions have you got lasting well how do you really know what is joyful does Joy feel different for different people or species I guess in our case is Joy just one thing is there more than one time is it okay that things give us joy you can stop is there a difference access all at once I think we need to take a more systematic approach to figuring out all these questions kitchen mat it's raining steak and something and do small steps so we can really figure it out and then put it all back together again how they all connect exactly so maybe it would be good to talk about the parts of Joy first so the tadpoles and something to think about as they think about what makes them join Joy comes from many different places but you know last spring during the pandemic I was reading a book called The Book of joy and it was written by the Dalai Lama and Bishop Desmond Tutu and you're not book I talked about the parts of Joy or the pillars of Joy I think is what they called them why do they call them pillars exactly when you need them close they'd always nearby somehow it feels like arch supports that help hold up a building so delicious Roy are the parts of joy that all work together to make up Joy there isn't well the image is one thing that helps us feel Joy give me a pink of any of the they mentioned but I'm not really sure how I am connect to Joy where Carla I think it is a boot you know we can decide how we see and feel about the world around us and that's how gain confidence how we feel and act you know the Dalai Lama who is the leader of the Buddhist religion had to leave his country after bed to be safe but instead he decided he chose to see that this change would get an opportunity to meet new people and that brought him a lot of joy you cannot control whether he moved or not but he could control how he felt the booty so he shifted his perspective to find who I see you know Chad when virtual school started I was so upset that we couldn't be in person for Chapel on Fridays but over time I realized we could do something. that we couldn't do in person you know like recorded So more people could watch it later or go back and watch it again we could include all kinds of staff students in there families and teachers pets in the recordings for the verse in the prayer in the songs we could have speakers come and visit us who weren't here in Austin a lot of Joy each week anticipating who's going pop-up and Chapel I haven't had a chance to see recently you may remember I used to get pretty angry when I didn't understand something by froggy friends at the pond wouldn't behave the way I thought they should yes I heard my friend Joe yelling at someone in East like me and I saw the world through his eyes and I suddenly understood why he was so angry and it was a joy to be able to untie we are all trying to expensive are places in the world doing the best we can and now I choose to see things from someone else's perspective point of view that it is easier to be joyful and to be angry I love that example Tad not only are you you are thinking about someone else's perspective you know I'm really grateful for this time together Tad to talk about all of this actually now that I think about it gratitude was another pillar of joy I think it is important to think every day when you wake up I am fortunate to be alive I have a precious human or told her camel in our case and I'm not going to waste this can be an incredibly joyful. good idea Chad I'm going to make it in a more goal each day to remember to feel the joy of being alive and I'll join you in that maybe some of the tadpole as well and we can share my experiences in Chapel over the next few weeks and that would be so joyful Chad I'll see you soon bye bye....
