If you're at all familiar with the Harry Potter series of books, then you'll know all about a patronus. A patronus is a magical animal form that serves as a protector against dark forces. To make the spell work, the magician must think of an extremely happy memory.
There are lots of dark memories that leave a residue of pain. Those are not good to tap into, for they mess up the here and now.
But these happy memories — ah! They can enhance the here and now by bringing forth that goodness and adding a lightness to one's spirit.
I need to avail myself of more patronus moments.
