Good morning to you Beth. Joy is a wonderful choice.
Your quote reminds me of something—I quote from my little book. Pg 13:
“If in our daily lives we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day then with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding.
If you have lost your smile and yet are still capable of seeing that a dandelion is keeping it for you, the situation is not too bad. You still have enough mindfulness to see that the smile is there.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
