It's my JOY and you CANT have it!!

Early this morning the devil tried to steal my joy, but as I turned over and shed my tears the water helped me grow and instead of retreating to my bed, I rose and had a blessed day. I have accepted that these are not just moments anymore, but power plays and by understanding my worth I forced the devil away. Funny, as I am writing this it hits me that I actually just went with the flow of the day not trying to make any more or less of it. Not trying to answer why, but accepting what made it possible to just keep it moving. I had the best Mother-Daughter day, so priceless and full. Plenty of laughter and jokes, and a few too many "did you see what she has on." The magic of this day ending with my daughter bringing out pad and pencil to trace our family tree. Connecting the dots to help her understand where we began leaves a warm spot in my heart. This is what keeping my joy has allowed, I am so grateful that My Joy is my new best girlfriend and she can come back again tomorrow!!!!
