...that it is, indeed, true. The Root of Joy does lay in gratefulness, which many times can be achieved by trying to find the cloud' silver lining, there is ALWAYS a good side or effect or reason for things to happen. Trust me, I am old LOL It took me a while, but I only got up and re build a life for ourselves when, instead of cursing and being angry with God, with Life, with the illnesses (Multiple Sclerosis first, Dementia later) that took my husband, Sarita's dad, from us, or I could keep in my heart over a decade of marvelous time together, even working together, successfully achieving wonderful things in our lives, and this marvelous daughter of mine.

There is a lot more that has taught me about how gratefulness works miracles, but I wont bore you too much now
