Happiness and Joy

I read this somewhere recently...

Happiness is a pleasant feeling that is tied to circumstances.  Things are good, I am happy, things are bad, I am not happy.  Happiness is tied to circumstances.

Joy is not tied to circumstances.  Joy is a spiritual state of heart mind that comes to a person when they engage the world with gratitude.

In other words, when we look and see the good in life, when we choose to be aware and appreciate of all of life, we find gratitude and joy.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
