Description
Joyful is something more than just being happy. It is sort of being happy and thankful at the same time. When you are filled with joy, it is more a lifting of your spirits to a new high. One can be happy and still feel like their feet are on the ground. But when you are feeling joyful your head and the rest of you is up there floating in the clouds and you are feeling so good all over, and so happy inside that your spirits soar. To feel joy you have to reach out, with your soul, connect in a magical sort of way. If you ever had a joyful moment, you know exactly what I mean. There is nothing like it.
Wishing everyone a joyful Christmas and a wonderful new year!

I just got through playing chess on my computer and to see this piece on a chessboard is like - wow... chess pieces made from dancers would be cool... the pawns on the black team could be Zombies from Thriller - lol... I'd love to make chess pieces I'd feel JOYFUL doing it IF I kept a great ATTITUDE... - attitude is what brings Joy to life.... It's like two people can watch a football game, they both like the team the same, but one guy cheers and Jumps for joy - it's all attitude! Lovely Picture, ballerinas are so graceful - I really don't know which I like watching better, ballerinas or Gymnists.

Fabulous image and words Li'l Sis you hit the nail on the head, as a old friend of mine once said, It takes things to make people happy and once those things go so does the happiness where as Joy and joyfulness is something that comes from the inside and wells up from within. You can have joy in persecution where you may not be happy in the circumstance but it can't affect the joy inside.. I never have forgotten this and how right he was, He told me this one Christmas many years ago. He has passed away now but his words still ring in my ears every Christmas.. Fantastic image and lovely ballerina and outfit, first class work!! So I wish you and yours a Joyful Christmas Li'l Sis, hugs Big Bro!!
