In my daily spiritual practice, I release any cares or concerns. Connected in mind and heart, relax into a peaceful state of being. The world didn't give it to me and the world can not take it away.

From this place of calm, joy arises.

Beautiful joy!

Contagious joy!

Radiant joy!

Are you a Naomi, who viewed her life so bitterly she changed her name to Mara or Joseph, a story of faith, hope, success and joy during years of trouble.

Along with joy comes enthusiasm, eagerness, warmth, fervor, zeal, ardor, passion and devotion.

Sow tears and reap joy. Stay faithful and obedient and good will comes, What a joy.

Can you remain joyful, no matter the circumstances?

Every time you offer a helping hand, show you care and understand or have a kind word to give, you help someone find beauty in this precious life we live.

Joy frees us from shame and fear and rubs off on others.
