blissful, tickled, merry, elated, filled with extreme and exuberant happiness

I am walking with my mother on a beach near my childhood home, one of my favorite places in the world. I am three days away from my one-way flight to Scotland of all places, securing my flat only earlier that day. I have a tumbler of Chardonnay in one hand, and selected seashells for my future bedside table in the other. It is peak golden hour, and good luck is on the horizon. I am joyous.

I decided to try my hand at skiing today. I am fatigued by the early rise and cold air that sneaks up on you, but it’s more relaxation and coziness rather than exhaustion. I left my mark on the bunny slopes, and they left a mark on my. While the bruises are plentiful, so are the loving memories I made. 10/10 will be skiing again. I am joyous.

I am lounging on my deck in the peak of summer at golden hour. The only worry in the world is what type of beer I’m going to crack into next. Coming home for the summer often brings up difficult memories, but I am reminded of the blessings I experience by having roots in a place this beautiful. I’m not the designated driver tonight, so I’ll let the vibes guide the night. I am joyous.

I have finished uni for the week and heading into a long-term long-weekend with no classes on Friday for the semester. I met my new friends for a spontaneous hike up Arthur’s seat (but the little one) because the September afternoon was simply too good to let go to waste. We picked up a bottle of clearance rosé, but no cups needed since we all have reusable mugs on hand. The conversations flow for hours, and I know I am on the right path. I am joyous.

I am aimlessly strolling Westminster for the first time with two of my best friends. With my new purse strapped around my shoulder and the slight buzz from the aperol spritz at brunch, the dismal weather conditions go unnoticed. The only item on the agenda for the evening is reservations at one of the vegan restaurants saved on my google maps list. I am joyous.

I am on what may be considered a work trip, but is truly an excuse for several offices to eat, drink, and be marry on the company tab. After a night of doing just that, blending in with the suburban families on a guided tour of the Royal Baths seems almost rude. Instead, braving the occasional showers and sharing a bucket of chips while watching a match (couldn't tell you which team, or sport for that matter) seems more fitting. The names of the countless colleagues I met are long forgotten, but the newfound inside jokes are plenty. I am joyous.

I am newly groomed, legs are feeling good, and confidence is high. Nevertheless, the pre-interview anxiety somehow always outweigh the pre-race nerves. On the track, I enter a world of my own shared only by those in my five-meter radius. In front of the camera, I have the pressure of captivating an audience. But these are fleeting. The thought of a new track but familiar event are at the front of mind. I am here to do what I love and take the thrown. I am joyous.

I am sitting lake side for my 90th birthday, half a litre of Barefoot pinot grigio (served with ice, for hydration) in hand. The whiff of freshly mowed grass, seven-layer dip, and wet dog seemingly come together for a sense of nostalgia. The sounds of jet skis, conversations from other cottages travelling, and sizzling grills signal the start of summer. My Gemini spirit is filled with love and gratitude for my friends and family today, but also some annoyance towards my friends and family. I am now officially nine decades wise, and looking forward to the next. I am joyous.

I am at the summit lodge at a mountain that is relatively unfamiliar to me. It is a bluebird day, freshly snowed, hardly noon, and I am already on my second pint of cider and lunch dessert (in the form of a $15 cinnamon roll). My back only slightly aches from the cot I slept on the night before, but that will be gone during the après ski hot tub. The sun is already fading behind the peaks but the day is young! I am joyous.

I am visiting my younger sister at uni and exploring a city neither of us thought we would ever visit; let alone live in. We escaped the tourist-ridden (guilty) city-centre to visit the tourist-ridden coast. I braved the icy waters for a proper dunk, and the temporary discomfort was well worth the resulting dopamine rush and euphoric high. The endorphins make the thermos coffee and wool sweater appear as an utter miracle. I am joyous.
