Joy. I strongly believe in the power that being joyful brings to life. If I wasn't joyful, I don't know who I'd be. Joy is life for me, and it's my goal to help everyone find the same peace and comfort that I do through God and Christ, and the joy that the gospel brings to me and my family. What's the meaning of life? I'm not positive, but I think it has to do with joy. Everyone's life is even more meaningful if they can find joy, happiness, and God throughout it. How do you find joy in your life? It's all about perspective. An optimist can find joy and happiness in practically everything because that's what they focus on. Pessimists tend to be more realists, and that's okay, but being happy doesn't mean you live in an alternate reality. Change how you perceive things, and try to look for the joy in life. "I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad." -The Sound of Music "...Find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all." -Robert Louis Stevenson Find the joy in your everyday lives, even if it's hard. Then write about it. Keep a gratitude journal to help focus your perspective on joy. Then live it. Live with joy, don't just notice it. Live it. Make joy become your habits, your everyday lifestyle. It will reap plentiful rewards. Cover by @geek-goddess225 Started on: March 13, 2019 Finished on: December 17, 2019

[ ᴜɴʀᴇǫᴜɪᴛᴇᴅ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ] Hazel Scarlet could do much better in life than to gawk and fawn over her handsome, dashing and charming company's CEO, her only confidante and anchor in life - Heath Evercrest; yet the best she decided to go for was to settle to be his friend. And the worse she decided to go for was to help him win over the hand of her very own sister in marriage. The odds couldn't have been more odder since the task was no more herculean than moving the Hercules itself; if only her boss would stop staring at her eyes every once in a while, if only his touch would stop making her feel as if she was actually the woman he chose as his bride, if their moments alone would stop making her hope as if she was the only woman to ever exist who could pull him out of his never ending agony. As if seeing him struggle for his feelings for Kiara was not hard enough, Heath was making it even more harder for Hazel to forget about the fact that she was not the one for him by making his constant demands of gruelling attention to the details of the preparation of his wooing measures for her sister. In the midst of melting chocolates, broken hearts, failed balloons, too realistic practise proposals and even more realistic acts of intimacy, would it take Heath a whirl of chaos to realise which sister he actually lost his heart to, or it was as simple as one act of heated argument to realise his secretary is not the friend he had been talking to for years, but a swirling mess of women, heat, graceful beauty and everything he had been searching for in the wrong place all this time?
