I love the word joy. It is a word that seems to bring to mind the very act of living in divine harmony with the universe. A student of mine in class today has the benefit of being named Joy. How great is that? She can truly live in Joy 24/7! There is a sense of wonder in having a name that resonates so beautifully to happiness and peace.
Here are some definitions of joy:
The emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation, a state of happiness or felicity.
What could be more satisfying than living a joyful life? And why is it that we do not do this more often? We tend to lament about the awful things, the bad experiences, and what is missing, instead of living in joy.
Animals really show us a state of blissful joy when they wag their tails and offer us their soft heads to pet and stroke. They know how to live with joy in every moment. There is no tomorrow, no deadlines , no irritating relative they must deal with at the holidays!
I offer my gratitude for having witnessed the expression of joy inherent in the faces of children laughing with delight, or a grandmother upon seeing the faces of her grandchildren at the door.
Joy can be chosen at every moment.
Ah to be lucky enough to say your name is one of Joy!
