How can one love so much?

How is it that one can love so much? 

How is it that while still being ill three weeks after first testing positive for COVID, while putting up with a contradictory housemate, while struggling in an uncomfortable living situation, while reading a book on trauma (& thus addressing my own traumas), while facing frustration and fear and even anger — how is it that I can feel so much love today? 

Love for the warm sunshine beaming through the kitchen windows. Love for the cats and snake (the household pets). Love for specific people (quite a few of them, actually). Love for this lazy afternoon. Love for my drawings and for the food I made myself. And love for this love that I feel. 

Where does all this love come from?
