Being able to know what MAKES you happy...and the ability to achieve it...no matter what may stand in the way...This can be a cruel world...however...a positive force from within yourself...will radiate around you...allowing you to experience the true meaning of joy. This,by the way, is a natural,and scientific ABILITY that we all possess. What seems to be inborn to some...may need a little effort by some others.The ABILITY for joy is limited,within yourself, and the MEANING of joy is found without.

A satisfied contentment with the little things in life....running into a friend that I haven't seen for a while, a well done musical performance, a good movie, a long hug from someone I care about, making someone laugh, a great meal or even a solid afternoon nap on a rainy day. :)

Joy is (in my opinion) a feeling of peaceful happiness. It is the feeling of holding your child as (s)he sleeps, holding hands with your spouse, watching puppies play, or working in your garden to plant flowers (yes, working). I find joy in a ride along the coast, through the redwoods.
