Joy


     The joy of special occasions and the joy of simple pleasures can increase our appreciation of life.  Many people find great joy in celebrating religious holidays such as Easter and Christmas.  Their faith also helps them see joy in their daily lives.  Joy also comes on our wedding day and at the birth of children and grandchildren.
     As we accomplish goals, win competitions, and go on much-needed vacations, our emotions reach a high point.  We can also feel joy when our loved ones or our special teams reach success.  Helping others be happy can increase our happiness.
     Even the simple things in life can bring joy: a beautiful sunrise or sunset, a gathering of friends or family, a hobby, a pet, music, singing, dancing, and whatever else raises your spirits.  Sometimes joy can even be found in sharing smiles as we meet others along our paths.
