Awakening Joy

I recently read an article about seven simple ways to awaken Joy.
These are their ideas: Imagine Happiness
                                 Memorize Happiness in your Body
                                 Reframe your Fate
                                 Strategically Diffuse Worry ( Like that is going to happen??)
                                 Let Go of Feeling Busy
                                 Experience the Bliss of Blamelessness
                                 Seek the Good in Others
I think there are some good ideas, I like the idea of letting go of the busy feeling. I like Bliss duh!!! Imagine yourself happy(happiness in your body) NO!! I want the real thing. If your fate is constantly doing laundry, it is hard to reframe!!! I do firmly believe that Joy is not just for the lucky few.

My seven simple ways to awaken Joy are as follows:
Wear summer pajamas for longer periods of time                                                                             
Have great girlfriends who give you A Grey Tie!!!!                                                                                
Music will fix anything, it is the key to my heart                                                                              
Look for the goodness in people and lower your expectations!!! People tend to be cra-cra!!!
Read and read some more                                                                                
Six and seven, make up what your joy may be, we are all so different, and know my list is endless.........

I was walking to the sewing lady, Grace, today and the heat from the asphalt took my breath away, it was glorious. I thought what do people want, this is heaven!!!!

I was listening to some new CD, and the voice of angels filled my car, Music is Joy!!!!!!(Thanks Nat)

Bill(hubs) and I just went to a restaurant, that was awful, bad drinks, bad food, and I looked at him and said," We could be in India!!!and Brewster's in right around the corner!" 

You deserve Joy, I'm sending you some via this blog.
