Happiness is a choice! It does not matter what happens to you or who put you down; we all can still choose to be happy!

"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (psalm 118:24)

Hopefully you plan on having a great day! If not, remember the above scripture...if you are already facing some adversity then take a moment to relax and to get calm. Find something to be grateful for and think about that. Perhaps its as simple as you are breathing today. That's better then the alternative.

Also try to make others smile and not frown. Its interesting how others will attack you and try to bring you down with them because they are having a lowsy day. Don't be that person. Choose to feel good now and carry that feeling through the day!

Chuck,

You are I are on the same wave length this morning...

I woke up 15 minutes early and spent my time (while still in bed) making a mental list of the 10 top things that I'm grateful for this day.

It's amazing how your perspective changes when you realize all of the wonderful blessings that are in your life EVERY DAY!

Hope your today is splendid!

Searching. Sharing. Serving.

Chuck, I love your attitude! Your purpose is right on! I adore having a great attitude. I appreciate everything, amybe sometimes too much! I feel underserving sometimes of Gods Blessings! I pray for family and friends to be able to appreciate life a little more! I surround myself with postitive people, but sometimes God puts negative people in my life for a time.....and it is trying.

Every morning I pray, "Lord, where do you need me today? Wo do you want me to talk to, where do I need to go, who do I need to see? You guide my footsteps" He always provides me the time to get all of my work done.

Thank you for this post!

There is always something good, even on your worst day. Find SOMETHING, anything to help your disposition. You're breathing, your family is healthy, you have a roof over your head, etc. There are billions that don't.

I love it! I just got off the phone with one of those "Don't be that person" type of friends. I'm feeling a little exhaused and behind schedule for my blog posts. But life is good and have joy. I'm on my way back over to Facebook to post your headline and remind my friends and family of the same. Thanks for the positive :)
