Joy Of Existence


Joy of Existence

There is a joy,
and it is the joy of existence—not what is happening in existence. They are two different things. There is the joy of existence, and then there is the joy of what is happening in existence.
What is happening in existence we try to control and manipulate.

Sometimes things go our way. Sometimes they don't.

But then there is another joy. That joy has been there through all the years of your life, waiting to be discovered. And that joy will be there for as long as you live. It is the simple, simple joy of being alive.

In my life, there are good days and there are bad days. The days I call good are the days when everything goes according to my plan. The days when things do not go according to my plan, I call bad.

Yet every day that I have been given is above and beyond being good and bad. Each one has its own meaning and its own beauty. And I can get in touch with that beauty.

My plans will change. Sometimes the days I call bad actually end up being good. And some days when everything looks like it is going according to my plan turn out to be a disaster.

Good and bad. Life is not just about good and bad—it is beyond that. When we begin to understand that, we begin to understand that it is a privilege to be alive. It is a privilege for which this heart needs to be filled with gratitude. What we have been given is far more precious than all the good and the bad put together. All of that is transitory.

We can know that which isn't transitory, that which will be here as long as we are alive. That is our solace. That is our harbor. That is where we need to be when the storms come.

Memorial To A Friend

Photobucket I saw you just last night Though I knew nothing would be changing The friendship we gained Left out in the rain As though I'd never see you again I sat in a daze with my mind off in a distance Thinking of the place where you now stay Not knowing what to do I stayed in my place Just thinking of the place you lay Neatly kept with a white picket fence A place that shows we care Cold in the winter and warm in the summer With birds chirping in the air Though laid to rest Your memory lives on Of the times You were at your best The night you left us will never be forgotten Our hearts are still filled with the pain The tears we cry For the night you died Fell like the hardest rain Though years will pass The pain will forever last I saw you just yesterday Please tell us what we can do To make the pain go away Though your spirit lives on May you rest in peace Eventually we will let the pain in our hearts finally cease Though death is not forever We will again all be together But til the day we see you again, Jonetta May you rest in peace Photobucket Jonetta was an amazing woman and mother. She was only 36 years old. She has a 13 and 8 year boy as well as a 6 year old daughter. I spoke with her yesterday at about 5:30 and she told me that she is finally the happiest that she has ever been. She met the love of her life and things were finally coming together for her. I hugged her and told her I loved her....she was one of my best friends. Jonetta left work a few hours later. She called her grandmother because she couldn't breathe and she had to pull over. Jonetta stopped talking and so her grandma hung up and called 911. When she called Jonetta's phone back a fireman answered and they were loading her in the ambulance to get her to the hospital. They called her grandmother back a few minutes later and told her that Jonetta had passed away before they made it to the hospital. I found out this morning. I am completely devastated but I am so thankful for that last hug and I love you that we got to share. Jonetta you will forever be in my heart......you are very much loved and missed
