Joy

Showing attention to someone else,
Friend or stranger, through something
As simple as a quiet smile, creates an inner joy.

We feel good every time we make a kind remark
rather than a mean-spirited one. Then the next kind remark comes even more 
easily. Joy is never far behind.

There is really no better action we can take on a
Daily basis than doing one thing that will inspire
Joy in the heart of someone else.

One day at a time, we can think differently, act differently, feel differently, and help 
others have a different experience.
