Prepare For Joy

 A   L   O   H   A  !


People should take time 

to be happy.

         Grandma Moses















The person who gets stuck 

on petty happiness, will 

not attain great happiness.

           Tibetan 

















Every tear has 

a smile behind it.

       Iranian Proverb



















He who laughs last, 

laughs best.

              Aesop















Sorrow prepares you for joy. 

It violently sweeps everything 

out of your house, so that 

new joy can find space to enter. 

It shakes the yellow leaves from 

the bough of your heart, so 

that fresh, green leaves 

can grow in their place. 

It pulls up the rotten roots, 

so that new roots hidden 

beneath have room to grow.

Rumi
