On Happiness & Joy

An old saying goes like this- "Happiness is dependant on things happening." But then again, I am not for one to stick around and wait for things to happen. If things won't happen for me, I will make them happen.

Instead of making a grouchy face in the mirror, or drowning myself in sad songs about heartbreak and problems a plenty, I'd rather do the opposite.

Pulling a funny face in the rain ain't so bad as it seems. In fact, smiling at myself in the reflection of a puddle of grimy water or on the screen off an old TV set makes me feel better much faster.

But the best medicine for me is finding words of comfort in my old ratty tatty bible that has accompanied me through my first notion of pain till my most recent heartaches.

I believe that Joy comes from the Lord and it is a gift that depends not on you or the happenings around but on the most dependant source of love, forgiveness and healing... our Father in Heaven. It is a gift no one can take from you because they can never take God away from you. It is up to you whether you want to accept the gift or reject it.

So what will it be?
