I was always interested in how to be more joyful. This goes all the way back to elemenatary school. I looked at what was going on around me and I wanted something better. Because my mother had so many ups and downs, I watned to know how to be "up" more often.

When I am around someone who is a joy stealer, I say to myself, I only have to deal with you for an hour. That person has to deal with thinking that way every moment of their lives.

People fall down, winners get up, and gold medal winners just get up faster!

I spent so much of my life shut down from the abuse of my childhood. I didn't have friends and I didn't have connections with people.

I do a lot of to-dos and a lot of lists. I realized I had to make room for joy. So I added "to feel" items on my to-do list. That's something you can easily do.

It's your life... why not fill it with as much joy as possible?
