A Joyous Heart

You know this time of year always gets me a little bit down. It's no secret that I'm susceptible to the winter blues. It's cold outside & I just want to keep to myself. I want to curl up and pretend that the days are long again and the air is warm. I want to forget the slippery sidewalks and the grayness that seems all-consuming.

Then, as if straight from Above, I receive a glimpse of reality and a dose of joy's happiness. After a few weeks without blogging--a direct result of my recluse, I feel that glimpse of hope. The kind of hope that warms your heart--the part of your heart independent from the outside world. You know the part I'm talking about. It' s the part of your heart that feels and experiences true joy. The part that recognizes good in others. The part that sees your own potential and longs to make every other part of you heart live to make it a reality.

The brisk air is still here, the dirty snow lingers. . .but my joyful heart is back. Fortunately, my blogging gene dwells in my joyful heart. Stay tuned for a daily dose of my life's happiness.
