Please share a few of the simple joys in your life …
I think of our soldiers coming home with out limbs – and wonder why I complain – I think of my grand children – and their little smiles and messes – why should I complain – I think of the children with cancer happier than me – and wonder why I complain – I have learned a lot about the simple things that bring more joy than all the ladders I was trying to climb and hoops I was jumping through. my lifestyle may have been completly changed – but it probably needed to any how!!! now I can hear that still, small voice of God since I’m not in such a rush to that I forget to pray and meditate and listen. My girls have brought me great joy as they are adults now and making grat decisions. My husband is the best there is and everone wants to clone him (this is a true blessing and gift from God) So why do I complain about a dumb disorder – I must be crazy and I have come to terms I can be happy (if not happier) with it.
