Do you look forward to each new day?
I mean, with a joyful anticipation? Not an awful dread.
This can be challenging to say the least. You have to suspect that some readers may not believe I have much experience with Hell, with challenges, problems, obstacles, fear, failure, struggle, grief, agony, hopelessness, strife, worry, doubt.
Do all of you have a ton of experience with these things? Okay then, I rest my case. We all do. No one is immune.
Then why am I so optimistic and “joyful”?
Great question. Some people think I’m crazy. A weirdo. Or, worse, a fake.
It’s taken like 50 years, but, I’m totally cool with it all. Finally.
One of the secrets to being joyful, is so simple, you’re not going to believe it. And it brings great joy to tell you that tomorrow, I’ll reveal January’s “value”.

If being healthy is such a blessing, why do we spend so little time getting and staying healthy?
I think it’s because we over commit, over schedule, and, under plan. There’s a saying, “Failure to plan is planning to fail.”
I’m addicted to thankfulness. Grateful for the ability to think about issues like this. Excited to have daily challenges. Encouraged by slow and steady progress toward reconciliation.
Yes indeed, thankfulness is a drug. Don’t forget to take your medicine.
