What is Joy and What Does it Say About Us? Dr. Pamela King   Joy is our delight when we experience, celebrate, and anticipate the manifestation of those things we hold with the most significance — like a birth or graduation. Sorrow is our response to the violation, destruction, or deterioration of such sacred things . We can choose to live a joy-filled life by accentuating the positive. This week, the US, we celebrate Thanksgiving, a time to focus on gratitude. But gratitude doesn’t have to be time-limited; it can become a daily practice. Joy needn’t be complex; it can arise from simple experiences we can observe in daily life, in nature. Thinking pure, kind thoughts can enable continuous joy. We don’t have to strive to someday reach joy; joy can be with us as we move through our everyday lives. What brings you joy: a person, an animal, great music, a stroll in the woods, or a quiet nook with a good book? Whatever the source, embrace joy. You can follow the Author on her  Webs...

  We will be traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday, so I wanted to take a moment to share a brief message with you. I am thankful for all of you who have journeyed with me on my writing adventure: those who have read and reviewed my books, and those who simply ride along in support and friendship. Happy Thanksgiving and many more! You can follow the Author at her  website  or on  Twitter .
