Joy in Your World
What's
bringing you the most happiness in your life right now? Why is it
such a good thing for you? Has it been present a long time, or is it
a recent addition to your world?
Right
this moment, it is hard to determine, since happiness is situational.
For the first time in five years, I am fighting a cold. When I
started with essential oils, certain illnesses became a thing of the
past, but even these oils can't stand against a sick child who wants
to rub her germs on my face. :(
On the
other hand, the joy of the Lord is my strength. As I remember those
things for which I am thankful, it does bring a smile to my face. My
elder child is surviving adulthood. She takes care of herself more
and more, and has graduated college without debt. She also has a job.
The younger one, who brought me the current respiratory distress,
will turn 18 this year and plans to move out of the camper ASAP. As
much as I love her, I love to see her claim responsibility for her
own life.
This
nomadic lifestyle suits me. It sounds like the opposite of what many
have proclaimed for decades, but less stuff makes the brain work
better. Stuff requires care. At first, I wondered if I would miss
certain things, but as I do without, I wonder why I thought I needed
stuff in the first place. Yep. Doing more with less makes me happy.
