Such a good thought experiment. I think for me the anchor question is: Is this loving and life giving? And maybe tangent to it for me as well is : Is this something that inspires me to be more loving in a lifegiving way? This has helped me to identify so many nuanced
moments that bring joy and foster the better parts of myself. This also helps me to remember that I get to choose how I spend my time and who I choose to be with, then the moments of being and doing become profoundly more joyful… even if it seems to be everyday ordinary things. Some of life’s most powerful moments happen for me in the ordinary spaces in between.

Two of my favorites, as you know!
re: Is this something that inspires me to be more loving in a life-giving way?
What you describe about the ordinary moments in between reminds me a lot of the movie Perfect Days. Worth a look.
Thanks. I will check it out.
