Choosing happiness

It’s Friday! I am quite excited about that because it means a weekend filled with DIY, gardening, new recipes, and some quality time with my husband. If the forecast here didn’t always lie to me (it always claims rain, but then it never shows!), it would be the perfect start to a weekend. Which, considering yesterday is a huge thing.

You see, yesterday I ended up letting some things get to me even though I tried to push them away. Instead, I ended up ruining my whole day and being completely miserable. Choosing happiness can be incredibly hard, but I’m tired of succumbing to feelings of self-loathing, jealousy, and pretty much every other negative feeling there is. I would love to get this printed and hung in my house, poster-sized, as a daily reminder. Every day I need to choose happiness, no matter how hard it is. The alternative is just not who I want to be, nor what I want my life to be. It’s going to be difficult, but it’s a change I want, a change I need.

Do you ever struggle with these feelings? Is it harder for you to be happy? I’d love to know your stories.

I hope y’all have a fantastic weekend!
