I always kind of thought that joy was something that lingered, that was more a part of your being, and your outlook on life rather than the momentary fleeting swings of happiness. Happiness can't be found in times of trial, but joy can be settled upon to bring strength. How's that for lofty words that sound absolutely lovely, but are a lot harder to work into practice than one might think.

In other news, those drinks look really good. Tell me how they taste. ~

:) i had to look up both words in the dictionary just now so that i could try and respond to your comment (when you know smart people, dictionaries can be good wingmen) and from what i can see, the two can be used interchangeably.
but you were right - joy is often associated with emotion as happiness is often associated with an experience. i'm not really good at either one at the moment, but i'll take which ever i stumble upon. & if you ever figure out how to "work [it] into practice" let me know. ;)

the drink taste really good. i think the Pimm's makes it taste a little like a ginger treat.

*___* omg pimm's. one of my roommates used to make pimm's cocktail things with pimm's, sprite(? or seltzer i don't remember), mint, and like a billion berries/cut up fruits. they were AMAZING. i think your porch swing will come out great, hope you enjoy! wish i were there to have some too hehe :)

I'd never tried Pimm's until the other night but it was really yummy. Your friend's drink sounds delicious too.
And if we ever cross paths, I'd be happy to share a porch swing with you. :)

&btw that's a cute icon.
