Joy is very often up to ourselves if we wish to feel it
Thank you - I start it from now - very good idea !
In the 2007 movie, The Bucket List, Morgan Freeman’s character tells Jack Nicholson’s character that in ancient Egypt the believed when they died the gods would ask them two questions before allowing them to enter in Heaven:
(1) Have you found joy in your life?
and
(2) Has your life brought joy to others?
Now ask yourselves that same 2 questions :-)
Go outdoors and be around nature to get some fresh air and vitamin D. People who are often around nature feel more rejuvenated, uplifted, positive, relaxed, all those good things. When you are connected to the earth, you won't feel like you are "lost".
