I’m new to the site and this affirmation struck a chord. I desire to have joy as my natural state of mind… I think I will spend some time thinking back to times when I felt that I achieved that and what events/activities accompanied it. I have a feeling that I’m going to be thinking about times in my life where I focused on simplifying my life and also was giving service in some way. Hmmm…this is going to get me thinking… thank you. -Jen
