Find a word related to J O Y

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym related to the word – J O Y (sustantivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word.

Example:

Her laughter was a joy to hear.

Su risa era una alegría oír.

 photo joy.jpg

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas.

We have no official corrector for this challenge yet.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English. smile ?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me.wink

This was the previous challenge.

There was = había ; It was = era. If you use "era", get rid of preposition "a". If you use "había" change "a" to "en". - Vorterix, Dec 23, 2014

Joy-bliss

enter image description here

I suppose it is not true that the ignorance is bliss, but it is true that there are people who prefer it to knowledge.

Supongo que no es verdad que la ignorancia es una felicidad, pero es verdad que hay gente que lo prefiere al conocimiento.

Júbilo, jubilation

Siempre recuerdo el sentido de la palabra “jubilar”, debido a que hoy voy a empezar a tener un sentimiento de júbilo, porque, aunque tengo que trabajar dos horas mañana por la mañana, después de eso, estaré de vacaciones hasta el año nuevo, y sólo puedo imaginarme cómo sería si no tuviera que regresar.

I always remember the meaning of the word “jubilar”, for today I am going to start to have a feeling of jubilation, because, even though I have to work for two hours in the morning tomorrow, after that, I will be on vacation up until the new year, and I can only imagine what it would be like if I were to not have to return.
