Joy comes from moments of pure presence. These moments are often experienced through alignments that occur during special events which makes people think it is the event that creates the joy, but in reality it is the experience of being fully present that allows the joy to bubble through.

This is a wonderful revelation for you to receive because presence is something you can consciously infuse into your day to day life, which would then allow joy to become more of a constant in your life expression. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
