Happiness

Happiness doesn't always just happen
it comes as I discover
what is truly important in life.

Happiness is a card
reminding you
that you're
the greatest love of his life.

Bloom

it's okay and expected that i don't know the outcome.
it's not especially comforting especially for someone who has to be in control, but it is what it is.

already i've learned so many valuable lessons:

*acceptance
*patience
*forgivness
*sympathy
*understanding
*and letting go.

i remind myself to let go and appreciate the many more gifts along the way. all that is required is that i take one step at a time.

Pass on your joy!

One of my favorite people shared wonderful and exciting news with me this morning. Now more than ever, it's so important to look for joy every day--whether it be a big announcement or a tiny sliver of something good. It's especially important when things are a mess.
