There is sunshine in my soul today!Do you know why? Because every moment of every day in my life is a choice.
I choose how I react to every single thing that life throws at me. I can choose to make the best or worst of any situation. No one else chooses for me. I choose. It's all up to me.
It's kind of like having a choice to be one of the Seven Dwarfs each time a new situation presents itself. I can be Grumpy. I can be Dopey, Sleepy, Bashful, Doc, or Sneezy... (OK, maybe this isn't working out like I was thinking originally.) Well, anyway - the point is: I choose to be Happy!
When the sun is shining, I choose to soak in its warmth.
When the storm clouds gather, I choose to marvel in their swirling, ominous beauty.
And when the rain falls, I choose to dance.
I choose.
And for all of you? I hope you choose sunshine.

Makes me think of this quote; "I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition."
-Martha Washington
Where did you find that cool graphic? I like.
Loved this!
Awesome! Reminds me of my favorite YW lesson from back as a youth, "Fun is an Attitude!"
Thanks Miss Sunshine! Short, sweet, uplifting and sunshiney.
"marvel in their swirling, ominous beauty..."
Very poetic.
Keep making the decisions, Gerb, and thanks for sharing!
Gerb, I love your attitude!
That's what I felt like yesterday too! Cool picture.
Most things in life we have to deal with, so might as well find the joy/humor/silver lining in it. Your gift is being able not only to find the sunshine, but to bask in it.
I love the thought of choosing to be one of the Seven Dwarfs. The more I think about it, the more it becomes hysterical. I can just see it now.
"How are you today?"
"I am Dopey"
"Dopey"
"Dopey...like the Seven Dwarfs"
Strange looks...very strange looks!!
Martha - Perfect quote, thank you. That is exactly what I was going for.
Bec - Just type 'sunshine' in Google images and voila!
Cari - Thanks.
Sybrina- Fun IS an attitude. Maybe I'll use that at YW camp this year...
Gina- You're welcome, Miss SUPERmom.
Tchn5th- Thanks. And you're welcome.
Michelle- You share it with me. Thanks.
Amanda - Happiness is a grand thing, isn't it?
Annette - Life could be a lot more gray if we let it be, couldn't it? Always better to go the sunny route.
Chelle- We now have a new answer to "How are you?" !! I can't wait for someone to ask so I can respond: "Sneezy. And you?"
