On happiness.

Today I was reading some old comments that some of you lovely people have left for me on my blog posts in the past. 

About a year ago, someone said, "You have a great life, by CHOICE, and I admire that." 

I've thought about that comment often since then, and 

I really felt proud that someone could say that about me.

Lately, however, I wouldn't say that that is the case. Ever since Matthew left, 

I've been a huge downer, pretty selfish, and also pretty lazy. 

But I am grateful that at any point in time, we have the opportunity to change, and that is my vow for today and every day from now on.

I'm determined to make my world beautiful in every way that I can, take pleasure in the little things, learn from the big, be a better person, and grow in every way possible. 

That might require some changes that are out of my comfort zone, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

And if you need it, I challenge you to do the same.
