Joy's Monday Message
Having joy in your life lifts outlooks to afford you a better view of whatever lies ahead.

Nothing Makes Me Happier
Nothing makes me happier than being happy. Quirky quote or deep meaning. Ask my winter HQ neighbor. He said it in passing and now I'm passing it on to you.

Whatever I say
Whatever I say will not fix your problem. Whatever you say will. The human condition is really more complacent than we figured. It seems the cozier we are with our situation the longer we tend to stay put. Until our staying put does not serve our purpose any longer. There is no time limit on staying put, however, the sooner we do something about what ever that looks like the sooner the better.
