"I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it." Rita Mae Brown
Simple suggestion, but well worth considering. When we are dead and gone, how do we want to be remembered? I would suggest that being happy people is one of the very best ways to be remembered. I have heard therapists say that the best gift we can give our children is to be happy. I think that is the best gift children can give their parents, too. Someone once said of my daughter that they realized they felt better after having been with her. Now that is a legacy by which to be remembered. Although all of us have challenges, most of us do not have an excuse to be unhappy. Unless we have a biochemical imbalance in our brains which prevents happiness, being happy is largely a choice. We choose to be happy and see the best in things -- or conversely, we choose to see the worst in things and grumble about that. Which way do you choose to see life?
