Feeling Joy is a very precious thing. It raises our spirits to higher places. Joy is what makes our mind and soul want and desire to do even better. It takes away pain, suffering and any other negative feelings.
Joy is mostly felt through the emotions of love and laughter. Most of the time it is a related emotion, coming from events or thoughts that evokes it from within us.

However today I realized that Joy. like any other emotion can be felt apart from all that is around us. It can be felt apart from what is not so heavenly and not so loving.

Therefore we can elevate our spirit to higher places not BECAUSE of it but “In spite” of it. So joy can be felt, because we chose to be joyful.

We can begin by first counting the blessings that we have around us. I am so reminded of the song “ count your blessings, name them one but one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done” This is so true. what ever faith you are in, we all can celebrate life. and in the simple blessings day to day find joy.

Look to the heavens and you will see,

simple floating leaves.

coming down to you and me.

and in the dawn of darkness,

the lonely bird does cry,

away from the earth as it rises to the sky,

and as the night slowly settles in

My heart to God a simple song doth sing,

For in the world I must truly be,

So blessed to be loved by a mighty God

who is as strong and Good as he.

And as on the gentle ground and lay to rest.

I thank my God for the simple Joys.

that I love best.

For even though this world sometimes so cruel be,

It cannot steal my joy,

For it is truly a part of me.

Blessed be to you now and always
Your friend and adviser Dilani Diva
