According to dictionary.com, JOY is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~noun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a source of keen pleasure or delight; someone or something greatly valued or appreciated&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the expression or display of glad feeling&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;state of happiness or felicity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;~verb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;to feel joy, be glad, rejoice&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;So, with that said, I will be writing about the things and people that bring me JOY, and about what I rejoice in.&amp;nbsp; I pray that you may find JOY in your days.&amp;nbsp; Feel free to share with me what brings you JOY ~ it is best when shared!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7969524487730518480-6636610569525441115?l=judijoy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://judijoy.blogspot.com/feeds/6636610569525441115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://judijoy.blogspot.com/2010/01/to-start-off-i-thought-it-would-be-good.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7969524487730518480/posts/default/6636610569525441115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7969524487730518480/posts/default/6636610569525441115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://judijoy.blogspot.com/2010/01/to-start-off-i-thought-it-would-be-good.html' title='What is JOY?'/><author><name>Judi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433430373748056458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U8DiuayDkpE/SV7L2vRVDuI/AAAAAAAAADA/dgWjIAuPO_8/S220/Judi.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969524487730518480.post-1662669039714623151</id><published>2010-01-01T19:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-01T19:30:54.022-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joy'/><title type='text'>Happy New Year!</title><content type='html'>Welcome 2010!&amp;nbsp;
