Choose Happy

 There seem to be those days when it seems that others woke up with one common goal - to make my life difficult. Am I right? There will always be those days when the fly in the ointment is noticeably bigger, the folks cutting us off in traffic are numerous, the ones with a bad attitude all cross our paths. So, what do we do?

I mentioned before that I choose to be happy. Does that mean it is easy? No. But, happiness, like so many other things in our lives, is a choice. And, we can either choose to be happy or we can choose the debbie-downer club. Either way, though, I believe the choice is ours.

Today's word is just a thought: "I am in charge of how I feel, and I choose to be happy."

Now, don't get me wrong, there will always be things that make us unhappy; happiness is truly fleeting. There is nothing about a loved one being sick or suffering that makes us happy. There is nothing about burdens making us happy. There is nothing about folks being ugly to us and taking advantage or our good nature that makes us happy. I am simply saying that we can allow those things to continually keep us down, or, we can choose to find happiness in our lives. 

Look, I am not a pie in the sky, sunshine and rainbows type of guy. I am a realist that sees the problems and challenges, which are very real and very many. However, there are things in my life, especially people that make me extremely happy. And, I have GOD on my side, working all things for my good; that alone should make you smile. We choose a lot of things every day, including our attitude - choose happy.

Be Blessed,
