Hey Beautiful Soul, 

Merriam-Webster’s definition of JOY is:

1: The emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires: DELIGHT

2: A state of happiness or felicity: BLISS

3: A source or cause of delight  

If you’re like me, sometimes our circumstances dictate a feeling opposite of joy. There are times other people’s choices affect your day, your plans, and your dreams! What can we do when this happens? We can choose JOY, we can choose to become joyous, and we can choose to feel joy amidst our outside forces.
