I Choose




I choose happiness
the road less traveled
where the grass is greener
and the flowers bloom wild

I choose joy
in the little things
because these are usually
much bigger when near

I choose peace
in all that surrounds
to give more than I take
to make the world better

I choose love
to friend or stranger
to give big
and perhaps receive

I choose faith
when times seem dark
to find that glint of light
in a cloud of grey

I choose hope
because without it
there is little chance
for a brighter day

Hugs,

Choose to be Happy

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it's all that matters. ~Audrey Hepburn

Most everyone dreams of being happy – when I get married, when I win the lottery, when I retire – but what about today? Why are we prolonging our happiness until that “one day” arrives? We can choose to be happy now, in the present, in the here and now. We can decide that we are ready to let go of our pain and suffering. We can choose to prolong the agony no longer. Once we’ve sat with our thoughts and feelings, dealt with the situation, we can then let it go, and reach for joyful times ahead.

It seems easier said than done but remember; you always have a choice. Always. Decide to be happy and live your life to the fullest. Choose to live in the now – not the past and not the future. Start living now.
