Today I choose...

I had dinner with a couple girlfriends last night and we were talking about some things going on in our lives. One of my friends is dealing with some personal family issues, but still went to work yesterday with a positive attitude. She said that she had decided that morning that she was going to have a good day, no matter what. I responded by saying "Today, I choose..." While I know this is not a new mantra or new idea, but at this point in my life, I need something to keep me going. I think it takes a lot more energy for me to be grumpy or in a bad mood, so today I choose to be happy. Even when I am frustrated beyond belief, I will choose to laugh it off and move forward.
