Where's the Joy?

If you know me at all, you know that for a huge portion of my life I was loud, exuberant, laughing, joking, without a worry in the world.

I haven't felt like that for several years.  And I hate that.  I don't know if its the infertility issues that we face that I allow to drag me down.  I don't know if it's the continued chemical imbalances.  I thought my meds had them pretty well-controlled, but lately I've been feeling SO anxious, and nothing seems to help.

Maybe its church.  We haven't been faithful church-goers for quite some time.  And I find that I need that.

So I'm on this quest to find some joy.  I'm tired of moping through life.  I want to be happy.  I want the joyfulness I used to have.  I wonder why I've allowed a little bit of life to steal it away from me....
