What a timely post! I believe that joy and sense of wonder easily hold hands, and I've been practicing looking for little details of joy and wonder in ordinary moments for one breath in order to regain enjoyment of life when it gets steamrollered by my tendency to take on too much. I don't remember where I read about this exercise (maybe something by Chade-Meng Tan), but it never fails to evoke that sense of being in the world, of accepting things as they are, of being ok with life, even if things aren't.
