Awhile ago I had notecards made that say – "Choose Happiness…" – and every time I look at them I am reminded that every day we are allowed a choice in our life of what path we walk.  Some days it is easier to take the path – because the sun is shining brightly and the temperature is a lovely 70 degrees.  Other days the path isn’t as easy to travel and takes an unwavering commitment to the premise that happiness is always a choice even on the gloomiest day. 

Most folks lean toward happiness, but they too often allow others to make the choice for them…I personally think that is a mistake.  What more important part of your destiny is the choice of perspective and attitude?  Isn’t happiness something we all want?  I think it is.  I think we all seek happiness.  I just wonder if everyone realizes that happiness does not result from a series of fortunate circumstances, but is instead a choice we make daily. 

As for me, I choose happiness and I will continue to skip down that path, smiling and humming a happy tune.  Want to come along?

Day two hundred and ninety-six of the new forty – obla di obla da
