Bubbling Over with Joy
In the tapestry of life, it's the small threads of joy we weave that create a picture of happiness and fulfillment. For me, that thread has always been bubbles, yes, bubbles! From the simple pleasure of blowing bubbles on a sunny day to sipping sparkling drinks, dining in whimsical bubble domes, and even the experience of a lifetime sleeping under the stars in a bubble in a remote location of Iceland. These effervescent spheres of joy have not only been a personal obsession but have bubbled over into a cherished tradition with my family.
There’s something inherently joyful about bubbles. Their delicate nature, their way of catching the light and painting the air with iridescence, captures a kind of magic that appeals to both the young and the young at heart. This fascination with bubbles has become a metaphor in my life for finding and holding onto moments of pure joy and wonder.
My family’s annual dining experience in a bubble has become more than just a meal; it's a celebration of togetherness, of pausing to savor the moment amidst the hustle of life. It's a tradition that embodies the essence of joy, creating memories that bubble up in our minds long after the moment has passed. This tradition has taught me the importance of intentionally incorporating joy into our lives, of making space for what delights us, and sharing that with those we love.
You might not share my obsession with bubbles, but surely there’s something in your life that sparks a similar joy. It could be the warmth of the morning sun, the thrill of reading a good book, or the calm of a long walk. Whatever it is, embrace it, celebrate it, and let it become a cornerstone of joy in your life.
Adding Bubbles of Joy to Your Life:
Identify your “bubbles” - acknowledge what brings you happiness such as an activity, hobby or even a simple daily ritual.
Make it a tradition - find ways to weave your “bubbles” into your routine or create special traditions around them.
Share the joy - invite friends and family to share in what brings you happiness.
Spread the “bubbles” - encourage others to find and celebrate their own sources of joy, and share those moments with them.
In a world that often demands we hustle through our days, finding moments of pure joy can seem like a quest for a hidden treasure. Yet, sometimes, this treasure lies not in grand achievements or milestones but in the simple delights that life offers. For me, this joy is captured perfectly in bubbles.
What’s your version of bubbles, and how do you weave threads of joy into your life? Here’s to bubbling over with joy. Let’s inspire each other to fill our lives with moments of happiness, one bubble at a time.
