"Joy is not in things; it is in us." – Richard Wagner
Sometimes the days blur - Zoom calls, school runs, deadlines. We forget that joy doesn’t just happen - it’s made. Often, it’s stirred into the sauce, shared across the table, or found in the mess.
So today, ask yourself gently: which corner of your life is running on empty? Which part feels a bit beige or neglected? Is it your morning routine, your friendships, your dinner plate?
Because love, laughter, and lasagne - metaphorical or otherwise - have this alchemical power to transform the mundane into something deeply human and nourishing.
Prompt:
What part of your daily life needs more love, laughter, or lasagne? Write about it and how you might add one spoonful more.
