In your own words

[Alysser]

Joy is anything that gives you the slightest happy spark in your life.

Joy is my aunt. Such a nice name given to such a crazy woman.

Naw, really..
To me, Joy comes when I see other people so very happy. I had this english teacher(one of the most pleasant people I have ever met) who always told jokes at the end of class. I won't lie, they were the corniest jokes ever, but the way she told them made the whole class just light up with laughter. My teacher would tell them, then just throw her head back is laughter. You couldn't help but laugh along, and it always filled you with joy. :]

I happened to look at the obituaries today, and this caught my eye for some reason. I do not know this person, but she seems like a very beautiful
woman.

She wrote her own obituary which I thought was touching. Although this applies to Cancer, you can apply this to really anything.

I thought this was really touching and it may not be exactly what you were looking for, but this actually did bring tears & joy to me as I read it.

Here it is:

ALL I EVER REALLY NEEDED TO KNOW
I LEARNED FROM CANCER...

The "BigC" stands for courage.
There is no such thing as a bad hair day
Hope is just prayer in disguise
Anger is an emotion best chewed up and spit out
The only thing that makes chemo bearable is humor
A positive attitude is a choice
Some doctors and nures really do care
Peace is a state of mind for your heard
Scars build character
If God doesn't listen the first time - YELL!
If you don't stand up for yourself, no one else will
Cancer is God's way of tell you to prioritize
Some peop;le will run from cancer - your true friends will stay and help you fight
Hair is really just a fashion accessory
Take care of yourself from the inside out
If people stare at you - smile!
Inner strength and character are the Yin and Yang of life
Sometimes it is not how fast your run the race, but how high you jump the hurdles.

Joy to me is all those "little" things that make my heart smile.

[pitc9]

Joy to me:

A colorful sunset or sunrise.
A star filled sky on a crisp fall night.
Falling asleep with my arms around a pup or 2.
Being around family and friends that love me.
Being able to help people and animals that need help.
The "sigh" that Buddy lets out just before he falls alseep.
Sierra making me and others laugh with the silly things she does.
