Happiness is a Choice.
There are signs out there with the saying, “Happiness is a Choice”.
It is a good slogan but only if we make that choice and live our lives that way.
At my father’s 100th birthday celebration, some of his friends and relatives stood up to say a few words about him. When his great grandson at age 10, was asked if he had anything to add, he simply said, “Great Grand chooses to be happy.”
Sometimes it is difficult to be happy at age 100. His body no longer jumped at his command and things were harder for him but he did choose to be happy.
Many times I sat and watched him sit with his magnifying glass straining to read, and another phrase came to my mind, “He does not give up.”
Try to teach your children by example or by sharing biography books about people who choose to be happy and who don’t give up. Give your son positive images to guide him in the future when his days are not always easy, because those days will come.
There you go. Another lesson for today. Now, go and love your son in your own special way. Some days are long but, trust me, the years will just disappear.
Love,
