Poem
THINK ABOUT JOY Think about joy or deep happiness. How do we attain and maintain it continually? Even in the midst of life’s storm or going through adverse circumstances. Think about the people we know, who are truly happy like a joyous child. There would only be a few or a handful. For most are only happy, joyful when things go their way, get what they want. They associate joy and happiness with success, possessions, prestige. They sink and worry when they have less. Think about the people, who have them all, or the people, who cannot get what they want. They are unhappy wanting somebody else’s life, wanting more and more or feeling miserable. How do we find joy, happiness every day? Is there such? Joy, happiness continually? Yes, accepting, knowing and loving oneself. Knowing one’s strengths, gifts in form of talents, capabilities and sharing them. Knowing one’s flaws and weaknesses and accepting and working on them. Not paying attention to other people’s opinions for knowing oneself well. Being grateful for what we have and accepting our circumstances as they are or what life brings us and thanking each day for each day is a precious gift. Receive each day with joy, listening to a birdsong or looking at the golden sunlight and show acts of kindness. Peace, contentment and happiness or joy continually or in continuum are decisions and it is up to us to decide. 3/15/21 Na Poem From a February 2021 Poetry Constance La France Composed: 2/11/21 Joy Continuum Poetry Judged: NA on 2/26/21
