I visit with friends and relatives or watch a romantic comedy. If I can't get out of the house, I pull out my Yoga Video tapes and stretch my cares away. I also love to take pictures and frame them. Mostly pictures of nature or of my cats. It is not only relaxing, it is enlightening.
Books hold most of the secrets to life.
I also enjoy listening to music, especially Jazz. Happiness is based on your circumstances. Joy on the other hand is something you decide to have no matter what is happening in your life. One of my favorite quotes is about life and how it is a mirror, what you see out there you have to first see inside of yourself. Doing things to benefit others will give you the joy you are looking for.
