Life is full of joy. The birds are singing every morning. All species of birds have joy in their hearts and sing so loudly as to disturb people from their sleep in the early morning hours. I remember a neighbor who was complaining to me one day about the birds singing every morning and she was very upset. I responded that we have to worry when we don't hear the birds singing.
When our pets cuddle with us and look up to us with unconditional love they make us feel joy and happiness. A great sense of peace comes over us when we pet them. It is said that our blood pressure drops when we pet and love them. These are all feelings that arise from within us. These feelings are always with us. Sometimes they need to be coaxed to the surface.
The harmony and beauty of the Universe is always being expressed everywhere. All it takes is for our thoughts to open up to these qualities of joy, happiness and peace for us to feel wonderful!
