8.13.12

Last week's mantra was I can choose happiness whenever I wish no matter what my circumstances. With a child in the hospital (yes, at age 23, he is still my child although I try not to say he is MY BABY too often) my personal chant was foreshortened. Mostly I just said, "I choose happiness" over and over. Most people don't think of happiness as a choice but as a life-long optimist, I gotta tell ya, somedays ya gots to WORK at it. 

So what will it be for this week? I have another child on my mind.

 COURAGE, HOPE, HEALTH

I have been chanting that in my head since Saturday.

One Monday, I wrote about my thoughts leading up to having a personal mantra/affirmation phrase handy.  You can re-read that post HERE.
