Joy and sorrow are companions. They teach us how to appreciate the present. Our circumstances are as fluid as the rain, they can change in a flash. We have to concentrate on evolving. Jealousy is self destructive. What we dwell on is a magnet that attracts the same energy into our lives. ©Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
