"choose joy"...

...is the wording on my bracelet. Narrow little strip of silver, with the letters in black. Telling me that it is a deliberate decision, reminding me to decide again, every day. A gift from someone near and dear, who saw it and reported it spoke to her, saying my name.

You can look at the beautiful, un-lived opportunity that is a fresh start as a gift, for you to see as a either bright and sunny or dark and dismal. You can see the hours unfurling before you as a road to be explored and path to new experiences, or a swamp of murky water, filled with quick sand, alligators, things that want to drag you under.

"Happiness is what happens out there, Joy is what happens in your heart."
