Midnight Ramblings

I wish more people would just be happy. Yes, we all have our stories. Everyone has had wrong done to them. And sometimes life is just really hard. But what I've realized lately is that we are just as responsible for our current happiness as those who wronged us in the past are for their actions. When we wake up in the morning, we get to decided what type of day we are going to have. We are the ones that decide how to react to the situations we are put in. I know this probably sounds incredibly naive and people are probably rolling their eyes at me right now. But maybe some of you will get it. Self pity and sorrow may be easier to fall into and possibly even more comfortable for some people. But if today were going to be your last day on earth, and granted, any day could be your last day, would you really want to spend it feeling sorry for yourself? Is that how you want to be remembered? Life is short. And it's such a beautiful thing if you allow yourself to see it that way.

 "So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
