Overflowing With Joy

Posted on July 25, 2012 by russtowne

I am touched and honored when I receive a comment that a post about people and animals helping or showing kindness toward others brought tears to readers’ eyes. That’s because I believe such tears occur when eyes experience such a beautiful thing that they overflow with joy.
