Happiness is a choice. Does it come more naturally to some than others? I think so. Is it something that you may have to work at? Again, I do believe so. Some days it seems daunting. Other days it feels very natural to be happy. I try to be vigilant of my happy state. To sincerely be grateful and thankful for it. Life is a lot easier when you look at the glass full. Life can be more fun when you don't. Feels good to bitch and complain at first, but then later I usually feel somewhat guilty. 9 times out of 10 I feel worse for what I said. I also try to be mindful that my girlfriends that hear me cry and complain the most feel they can do the same with me. This is not a one sided relationship, it is important to me that they know I am also their sounding board and filter when they want to just completely vent. Lay it all out there, say the things that you often think but would never dare day. Because it is healthy, once you say it most the time you can move on in another direction refocusing your energy for the better.
My pet peeve is when people cry that the world is stacked against them when they make no decision to change their habits. We only have this life, use it to live to your full capacity, and make the changes you need to enjoy it. Call me any time to vent and regroup. But use my time wisely because I choose to keep that glass half full.
