I find joy in success.

The file goes off at half past six and by twenty to seven the next tab is open. Six months of work, and the celebration lasted the length of a sent-mail confirmation.

Joy in success turns out to be something you have to take deliberately, because achievement comes with no built-in pause. The next thing arrives instantly and is very happy to absorb the moment.

Marking it needn't involve a party. Walking home the long way. Telling one person who'll be genuinely pleased. Something has to happen, or the win goes straight into the archive unread.
