Joy is...

Showing your accomplishments to the world and feeling love come back to you...

Having your father say, "I'm so proud of you. You make me happy. And your mother. And so many people."

Realizing you don't have to fake it till you make it because today, you've made it..

Letting people surprise you...

Today doesn't promise to be a happy day, but we can decide to focus on the positive instead of the negative. We can celebrate the joy of a life and give hugs and love and continue on, living our own lives to the fullest.

♥ you.
