New Changes in the New Year

Welcome 2013 ~ 

As we hear about resolutions for the new year, I do ponder what I wish would be different or could be different.  It really comes down to what I can control and what I cannot.  What I choose and what I do not choose.

One thing I do choose is happiness.  I believe happiness is a choice.  However, just because we are happy does not mean there is no pain or difficulty in our lives.  Life is full of hard times and tears -- that is what keeps us human.  

I try to find a few things each day that made me happy and I write them down.  The sun will set on this day and the sun will rise again in the morning to start a new day.  We do not know what that new day will bring, as that is one thing we do not have control over.  What we can control is how we respond to that day.  

It really is easier said than done -- it does take practice to keep your focus on that glass being half full instead of half empty.  

That is my goal for this new year -- to be happy.  To thank God for all His blessings and know he has my back.
