Joy

Okay... bare with me for a minute while I wax philosophical. But for me, the difference between happiness and joy is this: Happiness is a state of mind. It's an attitude. It's a choice. Waking up & thinking, "I'm going to be happy". Being generally cheerful or content. It's the mental part of the goodness we call happiness.

And on the other hand, Joy is a state of heart. It's when your heart smiles & feels warm. It's deeper and longer lasting. Everyone teases me for saying "bursting of joy". But it's kindof that feeling of your heart expanding. I'm not sure I can explain it. But those are my thoughts.

Well... let me share the JOY I felt thanks to my sweet friend Stacy. Stacy met Rob and within 2 months they were engaged. They are truly a match made in heaven. It was a long road for them to find each other... but the joy is overwhelming. Here are some pics of their special day:
