I guess I think of joy as an active form of peace, so joy is like peace + energy. And it's the energy that I really miss lately, I guess.

And I guess it's not "appreciating nature" exactly, because that sounds sort of museumlike. It's more that I tend to feel like spending time with the sky and the grass the way some people might feel like spending time with their friends. It's a fixture in my life that I haven't put enough time into lately, and I feel bad about that.

A lot of times I have trouble going out with the goal of appreciating nature. It winds up feeling forced or contrived. I need to be doing something else, and just let nature make itself known.

Sometimes, I think peace is even better than joy.
