LAUGH
This character asks for no explanation. It actually looks like a person who is laughing.

LUCK
A person who is lucky has all good things in life; good health, good family, good fortune and no worries about anything.

SERENITY
What a beautiful word! It refers to a deep peace in your heart; stillness at the core of your being that is unaffected by what is going on around you.

JOY
Simple and succinct in Chinese as in English; Joy means having a wonderful feeling in your heart!

DREAM
Although this character means the same in English as it does in Chinese, the characters that make up the word are interesting. The top part is two characters which represent wood and when combined mean; forest. The bottom part represents evening, sunset. It’s a pretty image of the end of the day when nighttime dreams take over for daydreams.
