today in the ample time i have at the coffee shop i was thinking about being happy and if you can have joy and be unhappy at the same time…and if there is a difference in happiness and joy.

i know that there have been times in my life when i am happy externally…like things are going my way and everything is good. But then the other times in life when i am not too happy and the things around me kind of suck. You know, the times when you’re not happy with your job or the amount of money you have.

on the other hand i know that joy is a fruit of the spirit and you should walk always in the joy that God is the provider and saviour. But does that mean that i always have to be happy?

Anyways my thought is, is there a difference between joy and happiness? Is joy internal and happiness external? Can you have joy inside and be very unhappy with the life around you?

Curious of your thoughts. Is there a difference in joy and happiness? is joy internal and happiness circumstantial?

Now, constants are a funny thing. in LOST if you dont have them you die….and a friend of mine said that i need some constants for my ever changing world.

So here they are. amidst all of the craziness of my life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness the two constants in my life are….

1. Chadley (He hates when i call him that, he will read this and be mad at me)

2. Jetters (our awesome dog…eventhough you’ve seen proof that he like Chad more than me, a mothers love stays always)

So i just wanted to share…have a happy thursday…back to your regular scheduled thursdays….

oh, and what/who are your constants?
