Blessed or Miserable?
 
Did you ever notice that many people who have pretty much everything often seem a whole lot less happy than many folks who carry a heavy sack of troubles on their shoulders?
 
No, I’m not suggesting that misery is a good thing.  However, I am saying that people who have learned to deal with their problems do seem a whole lot more appreciative of their blessings.
 
My point:  Misery or joy, it is a choice of attitude, well within our own control.  So, I challenge myself (and I invite anyone else who would care to join me) to be flat-out joyful — no matter what — on this beautiful day. — jri
