Our journey through life is not always easy, and there are many circumstances that are beyond our control. However, we can make a decision to choose to have a positive perspective regardless of our situation. I choose joy because doing so gives me strength so that I can pour out a blessing to others in need.

Today I choose joy.

Today I will make it a conscious effort to delight in all things.

I will marvel at the sunrise.

I will smile whether the weather is fine or whether the weather is not.

Today I will beam lovingly at the moon knowing that God hung it in the sky and told it to shine all night long just for me.

Today I will be thankful for the things I understand and I will trust that my season of understanding is coming for the things I don't yet comprehend.

Today I will acknowledge every good thought that comes to me and celebrate the joy those thoughts bring.

Today I will take every negative thought captive and find some light in the darkest moments.

Today I will remind myself that all things,

The beautiful things that feed my soul and the unpleasant things that briefly sting my spirit are working for my good.

Today I will wade through negativity and frustration,

Fear and angst and I will be grateful.
