What brings you joy?

    ... is it a person, place or thing? :) ...  this world thinks that if we have a the big house, nice car, and lots of money in the bank that it will bring us  happiness... I find this hard to believe. Take Hollywood for example, all of these celebrities making a  gazillion dollars and yet so many of them are getting divorced, drinking, addicted to drugs of every sort, I mean maybe that makes them happy but I find that hard to believe.  

    I find that I am most joyful or blissful when I am surrounded by the people that I love, I think that in the long run people really are what matters most, it is the time that we invest in others that will really make a difference in this world.. not the fancy house or car. 
  It is the little things that make life worth living.. laughing so hard that you sides hurt, a really good cup of coffee, a friend that you can talk to for hours or sit in contented silence with, being told 'I love you' and knowing without a doubt that it is true , worshiping God , chasing your dreams, accomplishing what you set out to do, a good book,  or your favorite song on the radio. 
  
I guess it is as the quote says.. " Enjoy the little things in life because one day you will look back and  realize that they were the big things."
