Joy is your destiny

Adam fell that man might be, and men are that they might have joy.

–Book of Mormon

In the garden, original man was perfect, unchanging, never knowing sickness or the sorrow of separation. It was only after the fall that we could learn the contrast between joy and sorrow and truly learn what joy is. More than the absence of sorrow, it is the embrace of life in all its turmoil. To live joyously means living with full awareness of how impermanent each life on earth is– how precious each moment, each conversation, each sunrise is.

Each day is the beginning of another new adventure, another opportunity to take a chance and live life to its fullest.

Look around you. Find the joy in your world.

After all, that’s why you’re here.

God, help me find and create true joy and peace in my world.

This reminds me that we aim toward perfection, we don't have to be perfect.  It also says, "Each day is the beginning...."  For me, it is the beginning of what ever I choose today to be.  Recovery gives me freedom of choice.

Joy and peace have not been very prevalent in my life in the last few years. Having my son in recovery and taking on a sponsor, has put new zest into my life.
