Working on My Book Today

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength.
Proverbs 17:22

Today I began writing my book, 'Happiness: No Man Required.' It will be one of the hardest things I have ever done, because I am writing it from my heart, and it brings up a lot of feelings to write from my heart. I feel good as I write about seasons of God's faithfulness where I have ironically been both happy and sad for all God has taught me about true life in Him. The key to happiness comes through service to others. I am most happy when I am thinking the least about my own happiness. It requires a lot of dying, getting to such a place of true happiness.

It is going to be a blessing to write, as I have already enjoyed the first day of writing it.
