Joy descends gently upon us like the evening dew, and does not patter down like a hailstorm.

Joy shared is twice the joy. Sorrow shared is half the sorrow. To have joy one must share it. Happiness was born a twin. There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief. For there is but one problem - the problem of human relations. We forget that there is no hope or joy except in human relations. Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind. Anticipate beauty. Believe in miracles. Count on grace. Decide on joy. Expect peace. Look back with joy. Look forward with hope. Be present with peace. Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within. The happiest people seem to be those who have no particular cause for being happy except that they are so.
