By Patricia Tupper Hyatt

A woman stopped me in the department store. She wanted to know what makes me so joyful. She said she'd been noticing me around the neighborhood. I hoped I hadn't been walking around with a silly grin on my face! Yet, I had to admit I am really happy.

My life isn't unusual. Things are certainly better at some times than others. And serious problems do come up. Yet, in recent years, my happiness hasn't fluctuated a whole lot. Like one of my grandson's toys that pops right back up when it gets knocked down. Sometimes I can even reach genuine peace right in the middle of a problem that would have terrorized me earlier.
