Interesting....

I should have kept this quote in mind a few days ago at work, but will definitely remember going forward:



"Happiness is a choice...if you make the mistake of allowing your circumstances to dictate your happiness, then you risk missing out on God's abundant life. Being negative and sour isn't going to improve anything either. You might as well choose to be happy and enjoy life!"




Why am I posting this? I let something bother me at work a few days ago, and although I was cordial, I think that I didn't display myself like I should have. I was very polite and I didn't say anything rude or out of the way, but I believe that I should have just said "I'm happy about what has happened", end of story. My husband gave me that advise. It's so much easier said than done. I can't help but think that saying that would be dishonest, and I do not want to lie about things. It's a hard balance. Well I can't dwell on the past, but I know what I'll do in the future. I won't dwell on silly things or situations, and I'll know that regardless God will always have a plan for me. I will "bloom wherever God places me", regardless of the circumstances. I've lost that about myself, and I'm glad it's not to late to become that person again. Thank you God.
