Choice

Today I was particularly convinced in my devotions on a specific thought-  "Today is a good day by Choice, not by fate" -and after attacking it from various angles I think that it is a worthy banner for any weather that traverses life.
If life is good and i am especially happy, great, i still have a choice to embrace it.
If life is bad and i am especially unhappy, or sad due to painful circumstances, i still have a choice in what my day will be like - more particularly in my attitude.
If life is average (as it is most days) i can choose to have a good day and instead of slipping to a slough of mundanity, i can pick the high road and search for little things to make the day good, and to Praise God for.

You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.
