perhaps we define JOY differently.....thus making it a rare occurrence?( jubilation, triumph, exultation, rejoicing, happiness, gladness, glee, exhilaration, exuberance, elation, euphoria, bliss, ecstasy, rapture; )
ty, Mitch.......somehow i don't believe all that many people would say they experience true joy.....but they do. Just because there's no drum roll, fireworks, or diamonds the size of grapes, they think they haven't felt real joy. But a broad smile looking at a butterfly atop a beautiful flower....is that not true joy?
A rare occurrence.
ReplyDeletea rare occurrence for me if it wasn't common!
