What's in a moment?

Life is full of reasons to smile. Life is full of reasons to celebrate. Life is full of reasons shut down. Life is full of reasons to point our fingers at others in blame for bad situations in life, but of all these things in life, ALL we truly HAVE is this moment. This moment holds so much promise. This moment holds so much hope.

In this moment YOU have a choice. You can focus on what brings a smile to your face and makes you want to get up and dance or you can turn your cheek on that opportunity and you can sit down and pout.

As for me, I love to smile. I love to hug. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love to laugh. I love my life because I make an intentional decision to focus on the things that make me happy. I'm not saying that I'm perfect at it and I am happy all the time. I, often, have to recommit to the decision to be happy, but I just keep on making that choice.

The more I choose to be happy, the smaller the not happy gaps get.
