Joy~ A state of Happiness,
Feeling of positivity,
A little touch,
a kind act,
a warm smile,
looking at a tastefully created collage,
hearing a little tune and
feelings of love.
There are many simple things in life which can inspire joy.
I’m really blessed to have my four who bring joy daily into my life.
Seeing them waking up each morning with smiles on their faces,
hearing the giggles that they make when they play and have fun with each other.
It really brightens up my day.
All the exhaustion and worries melt away.
The negativity turns into positivity
and everything becomes achievable.
What inspires you and gives you joy?
How do you share your joy?

@Actually Mummy, No I didn’t make it. The collage was one of the displays at the National Orchid Congress which I attended last year. I took a photo as it looks so pretty.

My four children give me great joy as well, as does nature (and all the other wonderful things the Lord has given me).

Joy is a beautiful word, and something that there can never be too much of! Like you, I find my joy in the simple things, especially my family.

1) My kids are my inspiration. Because of them, I want to be all I can be – they inspire me to be a good role model and to make improvements to myself.
2) I share my joys by celebrating with food – take them out to dinner or just making our favorite meals.
Your poem is really great, very touching. Thanks for playing Thursday Two Questions. Have a great weekend.

Music and laughter and innocence of any kind gives me joy!
I share just by being involved. Share a hug, kiss, play, food, music?
Happy weekend!

Hi Dominique,
I also want to share that my kids give me joy. I’m happy that they are in school. They have friends. They have their activities and recreations. They have food, however simple, and other basic needs.
My work also gives me joy. I look forward to getting up in the morning, being productive, and accomplishing my goals.
My cat gives me joy as well. Watching his antics makes me laugh.
Food! Ah, food…with food everything becomes achievable.:)

Joy! Such a wonderful gift…so often the small moments of it are overlooked, but don’t they just add up to a glorious sum at the end of our lifetimes?
This was lovely.
Thank you for sharing it.
