Today

When I woke up this morning, I promised myself that laughter will be my medicine. So much going on, it would have been so easy to succumb to the usual stresses of my day.

Hence the bits and pieces of funny conversations I hear around me.

I realize I can only be excused for being sad and needy for so long. Sooner or later I will have to take responsibility for my own happiness. And that includes the inevitable choice of embracing feelings that tip the balance - sadness, being alone, sorrow - to the dark side, so to speak.

So today, I choose to be happy. I am happy.
