This saying couldn’t be more
TRUE
We make a choice everyday…
every moment to
choose
happiness
or not…
No matter our circumstance
or the situations we may be dealing with
we have a choice
for ourselves
and for those around us.
So I decided to add a little reminder
Let’s take a look at how this project started
this was it’s first life
wow
sad…just sad
aren’t those hearts um well…lovely?
eeek
I must have had BIG plans when I decided to buy that!
So I took that as my base…primed and painted a crisp white
printed out my letters, transferred them to my board
and hand painted in red
Thought it needed a little somethin, somethin
so added a metal star and some yummy red baker’s twine
What is your choice today?

Love, love, love the bakers twine ... and the reminder. I was just reading today a letter that ended BE JOYFUL. It was on my mind all day long! I need to train my mind to choose happiness and joy! Jules

ReplyDeleteSo many people don't realize that they control their own happiness. If they aren't happy, they blame it on someone, something, what happened yesterday, or what *might* happen in the future. Live in the moment and choose to be happy!
