Happiness, then, is not a thing set apart from self, but the conditions with which one approaches that in hand to be done! for when one considers that the position of self is hard to bear, is not as is desired, the desire of the heart often maketh one afraid--unless that desire is ever in that attitude of "Use me, O God, as I am," for the I AM is ready, willing, to make my will one with Thy will--"Though He slay me, though He bruise me in mine own selfish or unseen ways; yet will I trust Him day by day," and He will not forsake thee; neither will He allow thee to be afraid; for He will raise thee up, and He understands all the hardships, the little things, the separations, the variations in the surroundings--but trust Him!

I really resonated with today's thought. I often try to start my day with a brief meditation, connecting with the “feelings” of being very happy, and do find that my day then unfolds more smoothly.
I also am discovering that the more that I do follow my heart's desires, the more attuned I am to the Divine unfolding of life, in a comfortable way. Yet, even if I stray, I am still serving a purpose, for the Divine uses us each as we are, for the good of all concerned, even those times that we would judge ourselves as lacking in positive qualities.

Hello Deb, I read this this morning as well. I get them sent to my e-mail. I love what you said here:
the Divine uses us each as we are, for the good of all concerned, even those times that we would judge ourselves as lacking in positive qualities.
it reminds me of that scripture 'all things work together for the good'
I hope that you are feeling much better…joy, star…
