Didn't really like For Pete's Sake - it just was a random thought. But today in spinning class, Malissa was making us work really hard staying in Zone 4 (anaerobic) for a minute or so instead of just touching it and going back down to Zone 3. Anyway, I think she was discussing other ways of hurting ourselves on the spinning bike and she said this workout was a different kind of joy. Because she is an animal and loves to thrash herself on the spin bike, the road bike, or the cross bike, this is a type of joy for her. That's what makes her such a good instructor - she loves the pain and she makes us love it too. So I am extrapolating Malissa's "different kind of joy" into a statement on life. We search for different kinds of joy; we revel in joy when we find it. We need different kinds of joy, and most importantly, we need to recognize joy when it comes to us. My blog will not always be about joy but maybe the underlying thread will be, even if I'm complaining or commenting on less than positive issues. My point is, we cannot abandon the search for different kinds of joy.
