First, being in the moment allows me to notice those things which give me joy instead of just passing them right by. Second, if I stay in the moment I leave previous things behind me whether they be good or bad. Therefore, I am not always dragging all this excess baggage around. That has always seemed to be an experience which has the potential to be pretty joyful to me.

Utter absorption in joy even if it meant giving up mindful awareness for a few moments might be alright.
