"What if happiness is merely the flash of remembering what is most true?" Thank you, thank you, Laura, for reminding us "how we are to live: not dour or dreary or dragging our feet through the inevitable muck, but lifting our heads towards happiness as a signpost of God’s presence."

Bless you and your family! Thank you for exactly what I needed this morning. I raised three sons and they are my lodestars to happiness. Bring the little children or something along those lines. I only recently experienced unprovoked Joy recently just driving along and boom-JOY! Almost weeping. May your days get better and the big C no longer exists. ❤️🥹

Thank you Laura for this. Finding (and fighting for) joy in the midst of suffering is not easy. But your words have encouraged me. Thanks for capturing the ache so beautifully ❤️

I wish that joyful moments in our life remained as imprinted in our brains as much as the traumas have, lol! Laura, your writing is beyond words; you are so exceptionally talented. I am barely (at age 45) starting to really understand happiness and how the normal routine days should be so greatly appreciated. Keep fighting that good fight sister. 💛
