joy is a choice

choosing joy sounds so simple.

and some days it is. days like today. bike rides and hugs and kisses and kind words and love everywhere i look.

then there are the days when i see what i don't have. money, room to stretch out, a baby of my own, a wedding day . . .

but there again, that's a choice to view these things as something i'm lacking.

because the truth is i have all the room i need - just outside my front door is the pacific ocean reflecting the sunlight like tiny diamonds as far as i can see, so many babies loving me at my job and riley and shae, and i have a man who loves me and does all he can to make me smile and laugh and feel loved.

so, i will continue to choose joy.

and to focus on the love that swirls all around me.

sending waves of love out to you today, dear ones.
