Joy of Life

For me there is nothing quite like the thrill of a well orchestrated symphony of mind, heart, lungs and muscle propelling me forward under a canopy of trees backlit my a clear blue sky. 

Today was a warm winter day. It was one those day's when everything seemed just right and the joy of being alive brought tears to my eyes. I've had many obstacles thrown in my path but with each adversity I struggle to overcome my joy for life deepens. None of us ever asks for tragedy or pain in our lives but when it does come our response to it's lesson determines the nature of our soul.
