What impacted me too was that joy is a choice, not just some haphazard feeling. Well done!

Smilin...I found myself smiling as I read your blog. Smiling? Yes, smiling, because of your apt expressions that readers have already mentioned. I am also smiling, because your thoughts parallel what people say about marriage. We choose each day to love our spouses, even on days when the rubber hits rough spots or the red light for low oil comes on.<br /><br />For married folk, it's good to ask in the morning, "What could I do today to make my husband's/wife's day better?" For writing, we can ask, "What one thing could I do to make my writing better?" <br /><br />Still smiling, as I enjoyed reading your blog, Rohadi.

A love that’s fleeting, that’s what... the quality of love is rooted in its substantive essence. The choosing you have to do day, by day, by day, to love." You've really distilled it down to its core, Rohadi. You've gotten to the 'heart' of the matter!

I hadn't looked at it from this view before, but you make good sense to me. <br /><br /> It's like asking someone, "What do you love about raising children? Volunteering? Starting a business? Exercise?" Writing is bigger than loving ice cream, or a TV show. There's so much invested in the motivation, in the process, and the outcome is often unpredictable. But yes, for me it's a need as well.
