Last week I greeted an older couple at church and asked how they were doing. The lady remarked that she noticed I always have a smile on my face. My answer was, "Why not?"
I have been blessed with a happy disposition. I wake up humming and ready to see the beauty of the day. When I was a 'tween, my parents bought me an antique looking wind-up alarm clock. Instead of buzzing me awake, it played "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning." Even today, I find myself singing that song as I jump into the shower.
The truth is, life is short. Do you want to move through your days feeling moody or unhappy only to look back and wish for a happier outlook or what might have been? Start today. We aren't all optimists and Pollyannas, but each of us can try to move forward in a positive direction. Choose to enjoy this lifetime. Baby steps....now.
I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. Ecclesiastes 3:12
