I've always felt a little sorry for the fellow on the Nine of Cups who seems happy but alone. I guess I was under the influence of thinkers like George Gordon Byron who said, "To have joy, one must share it." Getting older has made me rethink this philosophy. While it can be nice to share many moments with others, the Serenity card reminds me that sometimes it's nice to just enjoy them on my own. I don't need to post the sunrise I'm viewing on Facebook or call a friend about an insight I had as I was reading. Instead I can just be mindful of my enjoyment while it's in front of me.
