Joy Matters
Joy matters. Â We know that. Jeanie Miley knows it too.
Admittedly, some people are temperamentally more inclined toward happiness than others, but I’m seeing more and more that being happy has a lot to do with the choices I make, day by day. I’m seeing how much my moods affect those with whom I am in contact, conversation or communication and theirs, mine. I am taking it on as a moral responsibility and a sacred duty to cultivate my own inner happiness and to convey that happiness to others.
Jeanie writes for the San Angelo Standard-Times.  In her article Think of happiness not just as a pursuit, but as a duty, she talks about how she notices the different ways happy people talk to and treat others–and the difference that makes to everyone around them. It’s worth a read.  And yet another reminder of how joy matters.
