You open your eyes every morning not knowing what to expect, not knowing that you don't know. You don't know what you're going to learn about. Sometimes even I don't believe it, but right now, I can say I think it's true we learn something everyday. Even if it doesn't come in handy until a few years, weeks, or days to come.
I was just sitting here thinking, getting myself more and more annoyed. Then, I just asked myself, "Who's getting your nickers in a twist?"
"I dunno, I feel like being a crab," I replied.
"Yeah, how's that working for you?"
"Eh, I'm kind of being a jerk to everyone. It isn't very nice. It's the hat's fault, it wouldn't look good and knitting is horrible!" You see, I was attempting to knit before, and it didn't work out too swell.
"Really? So, the hat, it's just making you be a jerk..." My other, more reasonable self, asked sarcastically. I glared and thought. The thinking didn't last long, it didn't need to.
Monk. An episode I'd seen over a month ago randomly started playing in my head. Randy Disher, my favorite character in the world said something inspiring. Lt. Disher, he's not the most brilliant person, he's used as the comic relief in the show, so I guess I can relate to him. I love his comical remarks, so the serious caught me off guard. Maybe that was why it took so long to sink in. He said, "Happiness is a choice."
That is my new motto, no matter what situation life brings you it's your choice to make the best of it. Why go through it sad or angry? When it can be replaced with happy. I think I've known it the whole time, I just needed reminding. Basically, you can be sad or angry, but only of your own volition.
