Just how DO I define joy? After five years of podcasting and almost 180 episodes, I’m still not sure how to put my arms around the concept of it.
In this final meander of the season, I spend a little time and go back over my work these past five years to see if I can articulate a more satisfactory definition of joy. Not the noun or the verb, but the concept of joy. With help from a few dictionaries, and a few poets, as well as my many guests, I show you where I’ve landed. I’m keen to hear what you think about this, so please take note, and send comments to me at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com. I read everything you send.
I hope you enjoy this episode. Please subscribe to us wherever you get your podcasts, and share this episode widely.
See you in October!
