I know joy once again.
There has been a perpetual smile on my lips
Ever since last night.
My thoughts are constantly turning to you,
And I can't concentrate
With all this bliss running around in my head.
I no longer need to mourn my life,
But can celebrate it now.
On this day I have been redeemed
To the human race,
And the sun breaks through the clouds.
On this day do I thank God
For all the small favors He grants me,
For all the chances that I do take.
Even if the rest of my life is regrets,
I had one shining moment
And that light outweighs the dark.

I so much like the way this feels..very nice  

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Yeah, I love moments like these, and wish I had more of them.

I really enjoyed this!  It's great to be able to feel that joy, and even greater to make others feel it with you.  Thanks for sharing this.

Yeah, this is the kind of joy one experiences when one gets their first date in two and a half years.  Needless to say, I almost very literally WAS smiling on a constant basis all weekend...not that I minded.
