<p>Do you look forward to each new day?</p>
<p>I mean, with a joyful anticipation? Not an awful dread.</p>
<p>This can be challenging to say the least. You have to suspect that some readers may not believe I have much experience with Hell, with challenges, problems, obstacles, fear, failure, struggle, grief, agony, hopelessness, strife, worry, doubt.</p>
<p>Do all of you have a ton of experience with these things?  Okay then, I rest my case. We all do. No one is immune.</p>
<p>Then why am I so optimistic and &#8220;joyful&#8221;?</p>
<p>Great question.  Some people think I&#8217;m crazy. A <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=weirdo"><strong>weirdo</strong></a>.  Or, worse, a fake.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s taken like 50 years, but, I&#8217;m totally cool with it all. Finally.</p>
<p>One of the secrets to being joyful, is so simple, you&#8217;re not going to believe it. And it brings great joy to tell you that tomorrow, I&#8217;ll reveal January&#8217;s &#8220;value&#8221;.</p>
