Joy

I do not know if there is a greater emotion than pure joy. And at the same time, I do not believe that pure joy lasts long. Instead it comes in spirts. It swoops in, overtakes our body, and then quickly leaves. Yet in those moments, when pure joy can be felt, it is overwhelming; it is breathtaking. I feel that as we get older, those moments of pure joy deplete, because we our image of the world get clouded. There is always outside factors that take away from our ability to experience that feeling. What I believe is so fantastic about the Christmas season is that it allows everyone to step out of their own life, if only for a moment, and be a child again. And in doing so, we again get to experience the feeling of pure joy, as children so often do. This is what I look most foreward to, during this season. The magic and the joy that comes along. My hope for this Christmas is that we all get to experience pure joy, as children do. Or for those that have children, that watching your children experience pure joy, brings you pure joy as well. God Bless!
