Having someone play with you and your dolls is a great source of joy. “Pretend she’s…” begins most every sentence — and this time, the playmate will actually play along with the request.

Being surrounded by dogs thrilled to be with you and eager to show you is an endless source of joy. It lasts as long as the dogs’ energy, hence it is truly seems infinite.

Having a good stretch after filling your belly is joy that at its very center is complete contentment.

For good friends, it’s something a simple as sharing food — a freshly-picked cherry tomato or a plate of pierogi.

Untameable tomato plants that tower above you are a promise of present and future joy.

And the greatest source of joy is seeing all those you love happy.
