Makes me think of the Chinese proverb for people in despair:
"Keep a green tree growing in your heart and a singing bird will come."

Dear Never,
J.C. is correct ...
It was once a thing unimagined that the joy I currently feel could burn away the years of unremitting anguish ...
Is it merely because I am 60 and in the autumn of my years?
Thank you much, friend.

The Dalai Lama said that enlightenment doesn't come from happiness; enlightenment comes from suffering. When you learn to let go, then you can be happy. I think it's true. I'm happiest when I'm not attached to outcomes. CoCo, I hope 60 isn't the autumn of our years - I'm not far away from that and I don't feel autumnish at all!

HI, BA! How's the garden this year? (Not a highjack)
That Ancient Persian Saying are words to live by.
I always remind myself that others are so worse off than I am when I am feeling down or sorry for myself.
Nice to see you.
