Amen. I am at a loss to understand how much pain we can suffer here on earth....except when I read about what Jesus did for us. My latest loss was when my husband walked out 4 weeks ago. He couldnt control his stress anger and rages. I have supported us financially for 2 years and my job is on the line as i now have an injury. Just when i needed him to step up he stepped out. He couldnt stand by me when my son died in a work accident 2 years ago.....he couldnt understand grief...somehow he wished I was who he had met 5 months earlier.....but I am not that mum anymore. I am the mum who doesnt understand but is trying to do each day as best I can. He never met my 25 year old. But I know no matter what. My stress is completely about my choice of reaction. I am in control of my days as much as I can choose. And to love someone....help someone.....be kind to my animals and faithful to A God who does have the big picture is what gives me courage and hope. This is not all its about. There is so much we dont understand. But what we can do is what is within our reach. And may just make someone elses day a little better for our efforts. I am so grateful for all that I do have. And when I am feeling alone...to read something that helps me is awesome. Thankyou. Bless you.

Happiness is a valuable and honorable life goal. Studies show that by increasing the happiness and well being in convalescent homes, we reduce cost. We have found that the body's natural "Self Healing Relaxation Response" is more in gear in a state of happiness thus creating positive emotions. New business models embrace the Employee and Customer happiness as a more effective and ultimately efficient strategy. So, now that paradigms agree. Let us join together and create an abundant and happy world!!!!
