Maggie McCauley on Happiness

A great article about finding joy appeared on Fosters.com today. Maggie McCauley of Berwick, Maine, says in her piece “Happiness At Work Comes From Within”:

“The first thing we must know is that joy is not a peak experience; it’s a natural experience. It is having a true sense of peacefulness, not the exuberance? or what I call the “Yahoo!” moments that we know. It is the simple smile, the acknowledgment. Joy isn’t fleeting. Joy is “in there” all the time. Just like the sun on a cloudy day. Joy never goes away.”

She goes on to explain that she feels there are three aspects of life that help us stay connected to our joy: gratitude, community and self-care. Read Maggie’s article on Happiness.
