JOY.........


Ask most people what they want from life and you will usually get the same answer, “I just want to be happy.” There is a common belief that happiness is something that can not only be achieved, but held on to as well. That goal remains elusive…“the happiness that lasts” is never found because life is forever changing.

It is far better to seek joy.In the search for happiness, the individual focuses upon himself/herself. To make such a move requires faith. We must act first, finding hope in the midst of loss, thus giving birth to faith. This is a move that engages rather than avoids suffering. To love is to respect and value ourselves while breaking out of limited self-interest and reaching out to others. It is love, joy and faith that give meaning to life.

Tomorrow i turn a year closer to the end of life,a year older in friendship and a year wiser in life.
And yes,better days ahead:)
