“Joyfulness is an inner wellspring of peace and happiness.
It is beyond ordinary happiness because it is not
an occasional emotional reaction to luck or circumstances.
It is a deep sense of wellbeing that fills us with delight and hope.
We appreciate the gift of life, and savor its richness.
We enjoy simple pleasures.
We find the humor in things.
We allow joy to carry us through the painful times.
We take ourselves lightly and remember to play.
Joy comes when we are being true to a soulful purpose.
It gives us an abiding sense that all is well.”

I am thankful for the "simple pleasure" of flowers.
Flowers are a symbol Joy for me.

Liz,
I should have stated that I purchased these Sunflowers at MetroMarket. The photo was taken in our living room. I tried to take a photo in Metro Market one other time and they informed me that the public isn't allowed to take photo's in their store.
Thanks for you positive, happy comments!
