PURE JOY!

I had mixed emotions, but mostly my emotion was mad, grumpy, annoyed.  I was happy that we were able to sell my dad's house in the Poconos but agitated that I had to go there and clean up all my Dad's stuff.

Dad took all the stuff he wanted and told us to throw everything else out.  This included his files in his file cabinet.  You can't just throw that out--important documents, old documents, mortgage papers, deeds etc.  Should I close my eyes and just throw everything out or go through things carefully one-by-one?
There I was big black garbage bag, dirty hands, a "keep" pile, a "dump" pile.  That is when I saw it.  PURE JOY!  It was worth every minute.

Look at that smile.  Pure joy.
