What is Joy?

Joy: Noun. Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French joie, from Latin gaudia, plural of gaudium, from gaudēre to rejoice.

When I experience JOY, I feel a rich sense of peace and fulfillment. I may not look happy, because it's a very internal feeling that doesn't always show up on the outside. I like how Corey and Sam put it:



“When you are comfortable with your surroundings and have time to put aside any stress or worries.” --Corey

“I think joy is a very personal feeling, but is easily displayed publicly by smiling, laughter or just being in a whimsical mood.” --Sam

Sam + Corey= “Joy begins with a personal, internal mood and it becomes visible through a variety of outward expressions.”
