VIRTUES OF THE WEEK

Joyfulness: is being filled with happiness. It is a peaceful sense of well-being. Joy is inside us all. It comes from an appreciation for the gifts each day brings. Joy comes when we laugh and see the humor in things. Joy is the inner sense that can carry us through the hard times even when we are feeling very sad.

Integrity: is standing up for what you believe is right, living by your highest values. It is being honest and sincere with others and yourself. You are integrous when your words and actions match. You don’t fool yourself into doing what you know is wrong. You fill your life and your mind with things that help you to live a good, clean life.
