You're welcome and you are very wise for your years!
I feel your joy for life comes from feeling loved by your family and having such a close connection with them.
Something I have read about and watched through my work is the impact of love on people and the damage that lack of love does. Babies and children who have grown up in environments where they haven't been loved have such a huge emotional disadvantage and spend their whole lives seeking and searching for something that has been missing and that missing ingredient is 'love'.
So sad that everyone isn't just loved from birth for just being who they are.
Keep spreading your joy and optimism as the world needs it, especially those who have lacked love in their lives! :)
