My one little word for 2017 is ~ {happy}.
Sounds pretty simple right? Who doesn’t want to be happy?
Well, it’s harder than it seems. I learned this first hand last year. Life is not always rainbows & unicorns but I’m making the conscious decision to be happy, even when something less desirable occurs, bringing as much sunshine into my life as possible.
I’m choosing to make lemonade when life gives me lemons each and every time. For me. For my husband. For my marriage. For my son. For my daughter. For my dog. For my home. For my family. For everyone and for everything in my life.
It’s not only what happens to you in life but even more importantly it’s how you behave and react to what happens to you. It not easy but it’s worth it. We only get one chance at this thing called life. And I plan to enjoy as much of it as I can.
Yes, we choose to be happy! Thanks for your inspiring post!

So true Mary Jo! I choose to be happy!! I didn’t receive the news about my MRI that I was hoping I would, but I still look for the happiness and blessings in life. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
