It is very kind and thoughtful of you to share your tips on being happy. I for one can greatly benefit if I will put them into action. I’m thankful for your servants heart!
Thank you so much Katerra, I appreciate your support and kindness!!
Thank you for this. I wish I could expand, but I am just tearing up and can’t right now. You blessed me. Thank you.
~HUGS~ I understand! I hope you have a blessed day sweet Natalie!!
Your comments are so right on in so many ways. It is as if you looked inside my mind in all the little nooks and crannies that I have tried to keep hidden for so many years. I to have been in that black pit. It was only when I trusted the heavenly father and my soul mate that I was able to climb out. Life isn’t always easy for me but I am the maker of my destiny with my hand in the Lords. Thanks for the honesty.
Thank you Barbara, I think it also helps just to know we aren’t alone!! I am so glad you found your way out of the pit as well!!!
This really helps. I’m a college student, and I don’t really like studying, but when I study outside it makes it much more enjoyable. I’m gonna be on the lookout for more joy markers. 🙂 Thankyou for the advice.
I am glad it helped a little Heidi!! I hope you have a blessed day!!
Just getting started today! This is wonderful, thank you! I so believe in what you are saying and I am really at the point in my life where I feel so ready to do this! Thank you, sweet Christy! God bless you.
God bless you as well Pam!!
I was amazed as I watched this video which confirmed how blessed I am in my life. I used to be depressed several years ago and gradually came out of it. It was wonderful to realize just how many things I have in my life to be grateful for. I realized that I already use these techniques in my life and wasn’t really even aware of it. I cherish those small moments in my life when I can enjoy my solitude, cuddle with my dogs, read my book, bake a loaf of bread, stare out the window at flowers and birds in the yard, look forward to making something in my pottery class and most of all, just realize how lucky and happy I am. Thank you Christy.
We are blessed indeed Kathy!! I hope you are having a wonderful day and I will uphold you in my prayers!
Thank you so much for taking me from a negative thinking person to a joy filled person. I will arise in the morning with joy to have my great cup of coffee and read my Jesus Calling
You are an encourager! I’m glad I was able to offer something of use in return. All for His glory!
