It took me a while to really get what it meant that happiness is a choice. What do you mean choice, am I suppose to choose happy when I am soaking in this tent for days and I am desperate for some sun. THIS is my 3 weeks out of the office and it is raining. I am miserable and grumpy, thank you, I did NOT choose this!!!!! I have come a long way and I really hear you when you say happiness comes from within and can be a choice. It makes me a power house and not a victim of circumstances. That is big! I love your buffet of happiness, I have a look what I will choose for today.
