Choosing to be Happy and no one can stop me!

I have been doing some real thinking and listening to wise people! These are a few leasons I have learned: 1) I have got to stop "watching and waiting" for the sun to rise! I need to just go on with my life and know it WILL come up! 2)Today is a good day!! It could be so much worse if someone I love was sick or died, if I lost my job or my home, I fell ill or got injured, my puupy got lost or hurt, etc...  If any of these things were to happen I would pray to have today back!! I need to learn to enjoy it while it is here. Today is a gift, that is why it is called "the present"! 3) If you don't appreciate the blessings you have, why would God want to give you any more??  If you bought toys for a child who just threw them aside and didn't appreciate them, why would you want to give them another?? . 4) Maybe the most important of all: Things are going to happen the way they are supposed to happen.  I have NO CONTROL over what happens. The ONLY thing I can control is my attitude!  I can CHOOSE to be happy or sad.  I don't have to give up on anybody or anything because if they are ment to be with me, they will be, if not they won't!  It is that simple. So I am choosing to BE HAPPY and appreciate the many blessings I have been given (including the friends I have met at DS!).  I will hold my head up, continue to work on myself and look forward to whatever the future holds for me.  After all it is God's plan, so it has to be some good stuff, as soon as I am worthy to recieve my gifts (that happens in his time, not in ours! Back to the watching the sun rise thing!)  I do know sad attracts sad, sorry attracts sorry so happy must attract happy and good has to attract good, right?? I hope my journey (which is still on going for sure and not as easy as I make it sound) will inspire or help others to take control of the only thing we can control, our attitude!  Choose happy and blessed!!  It is a lot more fun and easy to live with than painful and hopeless!  Love to all of you at DS that are hurting and I pray healing as I am!
