Choosing happiness


Nobody wakes up and tells themselves that today is going to be a disaster. They generally wake up and well, things happen!! Like you are running late or the kids are sick or somebody almost causes you to wreck your vehicle. If we can find something enjoyable in that circumstance we have chosen to have joy. This is not easy to do!! One thing that helps me is that I try to look at things as they happen as a blessing. Like running late I might have avoided something worse. The kids are sick, I get to enjoy some extra time with them. The person who almost hit you or ran you off the road might have just heard awful news and needed to move quickly. I try, does not always mean I do!! I struggle some days to find that happiness but I also know that everything happens for a reason and there is no such thing as a coincidence. Most of us don’t have the big struggles such as a cancer diagnosis or loss of a loved one, which rank pretty high on the not happy scale. However, we can appreciate what we have in this moment and hope that whatever our problem of the day is that it will get better tomorrow.
