(136-137)"

"There are random moments - tossing a salad, coming up the driveway to the house, ironing the seams flat on a quilt square, standing at the kitchen window and looking out at the delphiniums, hearing a burst of laughter from one of my children's rooms - when I feel a wavelike rush of joy. This is my true religion: arbitrary moments of of nearly painful happiness for a life I feel privileged to lead."

"The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. (21)"

"There is joy in every circumstance."

"My collage opens my heart to endless joy. I am an artist!"

"Making the effort to experience daily joys a powerful mood enhancer. Find your bliss today!"

"I am worthy of daily joy, and I will treat myself to a glorious day of complete bliss at least once per month."

"I am a limitless being of oneness. I am the physical embodiment of joy. Anything is possible in my life. My true source is joy."
