My childhood had no joy or zest. I must have had some energy as I was very good on roller skates and loved them.
My life now has the ‘family I have made’...these friends and their families bring me joy. I share their grandchildren and marvel at how they are, having known nothing but love and support.
Some years ago I discovered the joy that nature and wildlife bring to me.
Being in the woods or at the beach with my dog can give moments of pure happiness.
Pixie. Ooh err. My sequel is a more conventional novel, much more filmable and much less explicit about bodily functions, and much harder work. Don't judge me solely on my first effort. :-)
