In today’s post I’d love for you to take a few minutes and experience things with me.

Joy – Gioia – Alegría – Freude – Glæde – áthas – Gaudium – Gleði – Glädje

I live for moments that bring me joy. I’m always on the lookout for them, and when I find them, all I want to do is share them with anyone and everyone. So, without further ado, here we go!

They can be videos like these:

A metal fan hearing about his life while coming off of post surgery drugs

A little piece of some Monty Python

They can be musical moments like this:

An animated graphical score of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Movement 2. Pay particular attention to the transition at 6:55… Does it give you goosebumps, too?!

How can you not tap your foot, or sing along, especially for the last minute of this little ditty??

They can be moments that are literally translated and mean JOY like this:

An animated graphical score of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Movement 4

The English translation for all the German

They can be compilations like this:

A community that comes together to share, in great numbers, moments like this

A community like me who just needs to feel happy sometimes
