Life is so good when you can choose to be happy. I always thought happy was a choice, and for most people it is, but for some it is not. It has been an up hill battle for me to feel the way I use too. I am not sure I fully understood how, with depression, you really have no choice how you feel. I tried so hard to feel happy and enjoy myself to no avail.
It is so good to enjoy what my kids are doing. To interact with them and share in the fun. I can truly say I am not only happy inside but joyful. Happy is when you have something good happen and enjoy it. Joyful is when, no matter what is going on you are happy inside. I can say I am joyful, when the kids are screaming, when everything is going bad, I am joyful. I may not be very happy about what is going on but I have peace in my heart, peace in my choices
Things are really coming together again and I am excited for each day. I can get out of bed in the morning and be cheerful to do so. I am grateful for my trials, they make me stronger, they stretch my soul and my compassion and understanding for others. May we all smile a little brighter that we may lift someone else's spirit to new heights, lift their burdens.
