Thanks lady. I wish those things for you too.
But i gave up on those goals years ago. Not exactly "joy" or "peace" but "happiness". Trying to reach it just made me frustrated. So i just try to go from one day to another somehow, and cope with everything.

Happiness can sneak up on you when you least expect it. You always sound happy after spending time with your friends, that sweet little girl you have tea parties with, hanging out with the cats...
I can find happiness in simplicity. A flowering weed is still a beautiful flower. A sunny sky, an ocean with waves crashing down upon a golden shore, a sweet little bird singing its' heart out, communicating with Kya kitty etc.
I find it helps to get out of the house. Alone time is awesome, but don't isolate yourself completely. I always feel so much better after being out for a while.
I am happy when I am nurturing my plants. Beautiful living green things that decorate my house and heart. Just random little things will make me smile.
When things are really bad and I am filled with anxiety and sorrow, I sit and let the feelings flow a while, tears can be healing. It is then helpful sometimes to divert my attention away from pain, because I don't wish to stay there. Sometimes we can shake it off and sometimes we cant.
Every day is a new day and we never know what it will hold. There could be unexpected and wondrous things ahead.
It makes me happy to know that people are being helped and don't feel so all alone.

Knowing my God fully understands is the true consolation.

I know, i remember that feeling. My relationship with God has been distant for a good while now. Faith is still there 100%, but i don't know. God does God things and i do Finspiracy things. I have been a really awful servant of God. It was not my intention at all. But thoughts don't speak anything. Even words don't speak anything. It is the actions that speak.
