On yesterday evening I took a walk. I ended up sitting down on a bench. At my feet were leaves which had fallen from the tres. I picked up a leaf just to look at tje colors. Yes, the leaves are beginning to turn which means I am here to experience yet another changing season. That brought me joy. Tje color of the leaves themselves and the idea that I am alive to witness them. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member) 
I have a gorgeous view of the sky every morning, be it sunshine or rain. It’s sunny and warm as leaves are turning green and flowers a budding. I’m grateful in this new season. I spring forward in God’s love and great anticipation of what this season will bring.

Thank you Richard🤗
Yes, finding joy took awhile. I had some stinking thinking for a long time. Unresolved issue went unresolved too long. Developing a relationship with God has and is my joy and strength. Honesty and taking responsibility for not renewing my mind kept me in a vicious negative cycle for years. My trust and faith in God is healing to my soul. I can go on and on. My joy is both spiritual and natural today🤗 Hi
. You certainly are not alone in the community in finding that faith has been healing and helped you find a place of joy. Our patient leader Robert wrote here about how even in dealing with the darkest of issues "It’s my faith in God that has sustained me. My faith has brought healing and wholeness to my life as well as bringing healing and wholeness to my marriage and family:" https://h-i-v.net/living/healing-conversation. In reading your post I also though about this article on ways to balance the mind and body where in relation to nature it states "You’ve probably noticed the joy that comes with taking a walk through the trees:" https://h-i-v.net/living/mind-body-balance. May you continue to live in a place of joy! Best, Richard (Team Member)
Every morning I wake up I feel joy for still being healthy and fit be able to run and swim. I feel enormous joy for my work. I am grateful to be able to love again. I feel so much joy when I drive through my village and be able to great so many people while I drive by ( I had been away for 40 years). I created an almost perfect life for myself which brings me enormous joy every day.
