PEading on Ways to enhance joy Last week (I know, most of us will settle to wake up without continuous awe, but why don’t you dream of great sometimes?), It was captured by the notes and survivors of cancer Solika Jawad: Live every day like her. When leukemia returned in July last year, the well urged her to live every day as she had the latter, but pressure on Carp Every second of every curse Deem She left her feeling of panic and exhaustion. Instead, she cultivated the feeling of curiosity and fresh fun, which she says helped.

I loved this, but I doubted the feasibility – can you really convince yourself tired and ridicule to feel surprising? I tried to live yesterday as if it were my first; Not like newborns (red face, often crying, completely incompetent-all of it already), but with childish wonder.

After that, on the chair, I surrendered, childish, to the strangeness of transportation from the cold, cold things that exploded, and my tongue is mistakenly called me in spitting, and what I chose to tell him is “a greatly interesting feeling” to remove the handicraft.

I will not call her exactly joy, but she was an ordeal less ever. Jaouad right: it can be a feeling of wonder, well, wonderful.
