Happiness is a CHOICE. I can choose to get sucked into someone else’s bad mood or I can choose not to. I can choose to see the glass as half full. 13 months ago

and some times more than other. I just spent a weekend with a lot of people over for company. As much as I love all of those people, sometimes it leaves me feeling drained and desiring some time alone. But K is going to want to spend the day with me and I can’t/ It is gorgeous outside and I will probably walk down to the book store at some point but right now, school studying is just more important. And she will feel ‘poor me’ why can’t you spend time with me but that it just tough. I gave some time to spend with my kids and that was my choice to do so. Now I am making the choice to study. I spent a couple of hours with her yesterday and her kids. Now I need to do this and I will suffer not seeing her either but this is the choice I need to make. 21 months ago

tons of positive things going on in my life. I have some new clothes, I was accepted at UVM, I was accepted into the ALAP program at work to partially pay for school. I was granted financial aid. I have accessibility to a tutor for free. I bought a new phone. My kids are all happy and healthy as am I. I went biking, camping, kayaking this summer. I have a nice patio with chairs and tiki torches to enjoy the outdoors more. I am blessed with making enough money to cover all my bills and save some away. I have a good job that I love even if I don’t like the people there. I have freedom and happiness.

TONS to be positive about. 23 months ago
