| Happy, Joyous and Free
Morning to each and all. The power of this simple phrase; happy, joyous and free is truly possible and exists in the life I have today. After years of living against life, I have finally accepted the gift of living with life. The impossible is possible if I but do one thing over and over; accept the gift of living with life. How did I learn to accept the gift of life? I had to want life more than not. More than anything else I had to muster the willingness first to want to achieve the acceptance of living. Excuses, issues, resentments and challenges all have to be met along the way before I could savor the freedom of eventual understanding a life lived fully. Nothing comes before surrender, then willingness and then continued accpetance for this man. With these three, the door to the heart finally opens and the power of something Greater is welcomed home as life returns and possibilites emerge. I am no different than you my friend for if you want to live free, you can and you will. When is the time? Now. How do I do it? Give up. How will I make it? Never be alone again. Will it work? Yes, yes if you only are willing and accept that life is worth living free.

Thanks Rufus, that hit the spot.  I was wondering where you got to.
