Microjoys is the practice of accessing joy and finding hope at any time, at any moment. It offers the perspective to observe the hidden wisdom, long-ago memories, subtle treasures, and ordinary delights that surround us: A dear friend’s kindness at just the right moment. A beloved family tradition. The simple tranquility of being in love.

In the introduction, author Cyndie Spiegel begins by taking note of microjoys during the most difficult year of her life. During that time, she experienced back-to-back unprecedented and devastating losses. Microjoys helped her move through each day with a semblance of comfort and a lot more joy.

Through beautifully written narrative essays and prompts, Cyndie shares the microjoys that have kept her going through tough times and shows us how we can learn to see the microjoys in our own lives. Microjoys don’t change the truth of loss or make grief any more convenient, but they allow us to touch joy if only temporarily, keeping us galvanized and propelling forward, one moment at a time.
