Thanks, puppywuppy! That's an interesting perspective on the difference between happiness and joy...never thought of that before.
I'm just now learning to spend more time with people who are more positive in my life, thank you for reminding me of it.
For some reason I am feeling a block as far as hobbies, not sure why. I seem to flit from thing to thing and have a low threshold for attention span within the last couple of months. Guess it's time to try something new!
Thanks again for your support :) I always find your posts to be inspiring!
