There’ s happiness, but then there’ s joy.

Joy!

There’ s happiness, but then there’ s joy.

It’ s a feeling that lifts the heart, stirs the spirit, and gives the sense that you’ re living life to its fullest. You can find it in the company of others or when singing alone in your car. It exists in a simple morning coffee on a cold winter morning and in the hard-won accomplishments that take months to achieve.
In the following pages, you’ ll see many sides of joy that can be found in retirement and perhaps gain some new ideas of how to cultivate more joy in your own life. Remember, whatever the source, if it brings you joy, it’ s time well spent.
