Is Joy Knocking On Your Door?
She knocked on the huge palace door. The peephole cover slid open, revealing the grim face of the palace guard. “Who goes there?”
“I am Joy,” she answered with a smile, “I’m here to visit the Queen.”
The guard shut the peephole abruptly. A few minutes later, it slid open again and the guard said, “The Queen is upset because her children are misbehaving. You may not enter until conditions improve.”
“But I bring good tidings, and if she would let me in the children would surely abandon their mischief.”
“Sorry,” the guard grumbled, “I must do Her Majesty’s bidding.” Then he locked the door and left.
But Joy did not leave . . . She just kept knocking.

* PS: Please note there is a profound difference between “I am willing to let joy in” and “I should be joyful.” It’s okay to have “negative” emotions AND okay to let them go.
