happYness

March 18, 2008

“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is
arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it…

It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up.
I have a choice: I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty
I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed
and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long
as
my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve
stored away…just for this time in my life.”
