many times on this journey, i have found such peace and joy, only to lose it...again...because of another's words or actions, or lack thereof...i am beginning to realize that this joy is not the real thing. if it were...it could not be taken from me...no matter what. one of my favorite people in recovery often says..."don't allow another to take your joy." but joy that is not given by God; joy that is gotten from something that i do, or something that happens, or whatever...that is not real joy...
real joy is a gift from God and cannot be taken away by anyone...or anything...when i am in a spiritually fit frame of mind, i can have this gift...when i am not, any joy i find is fleeting...many blessings, star.
