That's absolutely wonderful Pan, I am so happy you enjoyed this wonderful family experience.
I totally agree with Ta-Tsu-Wa's wonderful following comment:-
"We can elect to experience happiness and, with practice, we become more and more able to decide what our experience is going to be."
This is a habit I created through practise many years ago when I read the following quote by Abraham Lincoln “A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.” The alternative was simply undesirable to me.
I really think that this decision has helped meditation be such a joyful experience for me - I wish you much peace and joy
