So Be It!

There is a direct relationship between joy and strength,
When I loose my joy....I am at my weakest....
But I have discovered a...different...kind of Joy that I never knew existed.
It is a joy that can coexist with.....pain, uncertainty, confusion, doubt, problems...or the act of just plain being human.
Good health is vital to Joy...mental, emotional, physical and spiritual are a package deal. I did not say...perfect health...
but good health that we can do something about....
There is a vital importance of...laughter for our lives.
It releases endorphins, which are a natural painkiller produced by our bodies...
It is medically recognized that negative attitudes such as worry can produce negative physical effects, such as ulcers.
....Also, the opposite can be true as well.
Positive emotions, such as laughter and joy, produce positive chemical reactions in the body.
The Bible says this clearly....
...“A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones...” Proverbs 17:22
