On joy...

A friend sent this to me in an email. I do not know who the author is. I wish I did. I loved it and wanted to share it. Thanks, my friend, for bringing joy daily to my life!!! Enjoy!...

Allow joy!

Joy is your true nature. That's why it feels so
right. Simple yet profound, joy asks only to be.
Joy fills your life to the extent that you allow it.

Let go of the frustration, the anger, envy and
worry. And joy comes quickly to fill the void.

The smallest things can inspire joy. And the
biggest moments in life benefit when they are
lived in joy.

Joy costs nothing and yet it gives so much. Joy
is completely unreasonable and that is
its most powerfully compelling reason.

Joy is always here and now. Allow joy to fill
your heart, and its great value will fill your
world.

  2. Val, did you know that the words sung in Beethoven's famous Ninth Symphony are from a poem by Shiller called "Ode to Joy"?
