Spread Joy

The joy you send out never leaves you. Instead, it carries you along.

Be generous with the joy you express to others. For the more of it you give, the more of it you'll have.

There is no end to the joy that is within you. To know and experience the value of that joy in your life, set it free and let it flow into your world.

You have everything you need to make a joyful day today. For all you need is to let the joy be.

Spread joy, and you rise to a more enlightened perspective. Spread joy, and you build a more positive world.

When you find yourself longing for more joy in life, remind yourself to let it be. Spread joy, and you will surely know it.

-- Ralph Marston

This must be true, I've never yet met a happy miserable bogger!! I think enthusiasm is contagious - I know it brightens my dayt to see happiness in others.

Spreading joy is brilliant - but I feel it takes a lot hard work, skill, and determination to get to a point when you can do it fearlessly, unafraid, and spreading that joy without selfconciousness.

I try to. If I am in a group I will try and share my happiness (if I am happy!)

Sometimes I don't find it unless I look carefully, but when I do, it's usually right there in front of my eyes.

Hugs,
