tldr: For joy, gratitude and play: glad songs, a ritual of joy, a practice of play, a milestone marked, and thanks given, ending in the Prayer of Gratitude.

# Gladness

For the days that call for joy, and the ones that need reminding it is allowed. About half an hour of glad songs, play, a milestone worth marking, and thanks. Nothing in it needs to be useful.
