May you find a joy that makes pain bearable, and in the end, creative rather than destructive. Take heart that this joy will find you, then come back for you.
I have a motto, if one can call it that: "Peace and Joy". I've had it for years; I don't recall how it came to me. I know those words are in close proximity in the Bible, but I don't think that was the source for me. Over 30-years ago, God saved me from personal destruction. At the time, I thought I saved myself. But that moment in an airport has had a lasting affect ever since - I now believe such sustained change was from a higher power. Henceforth, Peace and Joy.
