Joy can come even when I am alone

This is my Indian Ringneck named Daffy.
Mmmmmmmm, Grapes.

One thing God has been teaching me over the years is that He wants
to be my source of joy and the One that I share my thoughts and experiences with. Not that I cannot share these with others, but, God wants to be first.
When I see something amazing or beautiful or funny I
immediately think "Oh, I wish I could share that with someone."
Well, God wants me to realize that He is sharing these things with Me.

My friends and relationships are precious.
My relationship with God sustains my life.

The greatest leaders in history have learned to be comfortable being
alone with themselves.
If I am happy within myself then others can benefit from this.
If I am needing someone else to be happy then it will drain my
relationships and pull myself down too.

I am grateful that I have a God who loves me
and wants to share good things with me.
I am also grateful for my loved ones who rejoice in my successes and don't
scold me for my failures.

By the way, the Red Bell Pepper Hummus I had for dinner was quite tasty.
Just another tidbit of good stuff in my day.
