I'm too anxious for that and seeking joy would only make me disappointed and sad. I can be happy, though, and glad or amused. I can also have fun and feel great, satisfied and proud. To experience true joy, I think I would have to have wings and be able to fly.
I’ve also tasted acute pain and loss, a taste that doesn’t leave you, but taints your existence - a firebrand burned into flesh. I choose the moment I let that pain overwhelm me, and sometimes I abandon myself to that silent scream of anguish and recall, and after it is over I feel grateful for surviving love and pain and loss and find joy in coming back round for some more. It lives in family dinners with friends, in Christmas parties, in road trips, in long talks over glasses of wine, in seeing how the world has become second hand designer bags australia kinder in the last 30 years.
Then I zoom back in and I sincerely ask myself, would I take all the pain for the joy. And I know as much as I don't want both to have to be true, that they are. And I feel joy at myself for the bravery and ability to feel it all.
Music and poetry strike a particular joyful chord in my sense of being, and so I dance with them, loved ones and strangers who become loved ones. Joy finds you.It is always there waiting, to be noticed, to be felt, to be seen.And then it joins us in moments, and we dance and sing and laugh ... Revelling.And then it is gone, and we question ourselves and look all around. Again.And so I find joy when I am open enough to let it in.Most often it is walking in the park with my dogs in the early dark of morning. Before even the Kookaburras.Or enveloped in the salty ocean, my load shared, stroking forward and breathing.And then writing, when the words magically flow, and land to stare back in my wonder.I feel joy when I see other's hearts.
For most of my life, I've been fearful of much of this world. We matured together, not least for me, because I gave up drinking early in our journey.He shed his fears, and we grew in confidence and serenity. Initially, we took to the moors to try to help with weight loss--always on a harness, for it is far too dangerous here for small tigers. Soon we grew to cherish these ritual circuits of his kingdom. He held his fortress against a young pitbull and an aggressive cat, but perhaps our fondest moments were simply lying amidst the fresh mint plants, prodded by the breeze. In all times of year he requested his outings, even climbing atop mounds of snow in the shortest days.
OMG I didn't know music could be so incredible and joy giving until I played in a band. My joy is also found when I am in the company of others collaborating on art, music, jobs, a joke. Full joy is [possibly] when you let go! Just Own Yourself ...and everything will follow. Your question has given me so much joy, I feel compelled to answer.I get joy from other people's happiness.
I enjoy making music (I play the Native American flute, badly). I walk my dog every day, and most days the sun is shining, and I can hear the laughter of children. I am not wealthy, but I have enough to do what I want - travel, be a consumer, etc., but I find I rarely want consumer things anymore, and I love being home.
The love is far stronger and will last longer that death. Her death made me realise what joy really means. Joy is a state of mind and a choice. Despite my own depressive tendencies, I can choose to think of my grandchildren or marvel at the beauty of Creation. As a Christian, I have knowledge of my Salvation and being a child of “Abba Father” [a term of endearment like Dearest Father]. My feelings may vary but pondering on this knowledge ie recalling the worthiness of God benefits me, the follower of my Master who does not need the worship just as I don’t need the worship/loyalty from my dog.I find music a powerful method to get into joy.

From there, we find joy.When my father was dying, with whom I had a difficult relationship, I went to see him what turned out to be one last time in hospital. By this point, he was unable to speak, but he knew I was there. I couldn’t work out if he was pleased I had visited, or not. An hour or so after I left, my mother called me to say he had gone. I cried, there was no stopping me crying, no take a deep breath, my tears were a force of nature; unstoppable.So, joy, for me, is digging for the truth.
However, the biggest joy I find in connection. Connecting with someone and having a laugh, an understanding look or a good conversation. Connecting with a dog or a cat and feeling their emotions. There is a joy about connecting with another living being for me that surpasses all else. What an elusive being, often just out of reach to wanting fingertips. She hovers around like a memory when I’m not aware, retreats from my grasp when the monotony of daily life conquers me, and then unequivocally intrudes, in the best way, through her ever-changing vessel.
I have always felt sad that my little brother passed aged just 6yrs. I saved his life once but was unable to a second time. I thought about him everyday of my life from the moment he passed until now. I now know through my partner that he is just as much a mischievous little boy on the other side as he was this side, funny, charming and characteristic. He makes me laugh and smile, and though I'm a hell of a lot older now, he still recognises me, his big sister.
I find joy in the fact that my wife believes I am going to live to be 95. I'm 60 and I carry this joyous thought with me in everything I do. I am lucky enough to live near Coogee Beach. We launch ourselves into the ocean every morning and swim to the edge of Wylie's Pool.
