Sick and Happy

I do not know many people who like being sick. I do not. However, this week, as I have been sick, I have also made the choice to be happy. I have seen friends who choose to be happy no matter their circumstances in life. I do not have the power or capability of controlling every situation in my life. All that I can control is my attitude and how I act each day. I am deciding to be positive and happy and optimistic. This will be hard for me, but it is a goal that I want to accomplish. I know it will make me a better person and will help me be a better friend to those around me. I am not the center of the universe and my choices will not change the world. I do know though, that my choices affect those that are close to me, the ones I care about. Choosing to be happy is the key to happiness.
