I agree with this philosophy--that we choose our happiness--especially on my good days, but on bad days it's one of those sayings I'd rather ignore. I have another annoyingly true statement hanging in my bedroom closet: "A successful marriage is the union between two great forgivers." Sometimes I just don't want to be reminded of that.<br /><br />But I do appreciate your reminder about happiness because you state it so sincerely and personally.

We laughed about your interpretation of the embroidered phrase in the bathroom. That saying has been a source of discussion between dad and I since we married and I hung it up. (One of my YW leaders cross-stitched it for me). I enjoy your insights into life and spent some timer reading your posts since December this morning. I set up a RSS feed so I can see all of your recent posts as well as Ann, Melody, Amanda and Sharla's. Yeah! I love you- MomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207547271894511792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7585761715742199135.post-51462072378885457042011-01-08T10:21:33.479-08:002011-01-08T10:21:33.479-08:00Thank you for this reminder to choose happiness. ...Thank you for this reminder to choose happiness. It reminds me of Victor Frankel's "Man's Search for Meaning." As a prisoner of war, he learned that the most important of human freedoms is to choose your response to your environment. It is the one thing that the guards could not take from him. It is a liberating thought.<br />I left several comments on your posts in December, November, and October. I wish I had read them more timely. You are more extraordinary everyday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207547271894511792noreply@blogger.com
