Joy comes to everyone: but it can fill us only by the amount of space we give it in our hearts. It is one of the most elusive of all human experiences. You can't catch it when you want it and you lose it even when you are already touching it with your fingertips.
It is gift of life itself and can come from many sources. Most of where it comes from are ordinary and simple; from smile, a kind word, the sunrise after a nightlong rain, a flower that blooms from a plant you've cared for, a long-lost friend met in a busy thoroughfare, a good meal, a moment of recognition, from silence.
But joy comes, it does comes. It comes when we are most childlike. The only condition--and this is the most difficult to arrange--is that we must be ready to welcome joy. -
Is this all we have? We are a little surprised. No one else knows what would bring them joy? With times being what they are we thought we would hear from more of you. Thank you to the two that commented. Visit us. www.meettheblanksblog.com

a threesome would be fun but really i could be quite happy walking along side a lake chasing butterflies. -
No more war...I'm sick and tired of seeing little kids die for no damn reason. Some peace would bring me joy. -
To me joy can't be found in things here on earth but comes from a relationship with Jesus and so I have joy.
Some people mistakenly relate joy to happiness but they are different. Happiness comes and goes. Joy when firmly rooted in our creator stays whether times are good or bad.
For example one of my friends died last night. I am sad and not very happy but I am still joyful because of the friendship we had. -
Joy comes from the heart and radiates out with a smile
