Description of what you have experienced as a major joy or a series of smaller related joys.

Throughout our journeys, we can expect the road of life to be paved with many joys and sorrows. What I am about to convey to you, the reader, are a few of my joyful memories during my quarter of a century travels on this road. Some of you will be able to empathize with what I say and relate to the same general feelings. Others will not relate to my own specific events but instead …

…should hope for is that the good outshines the bad and that we are blessed to have our lives touched by ordinary events that include extraordinary people. To sum up my memories of my grandmother with an anonymous quote, "Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and others weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique." May your life be interspersed with gold thread as mine has.
