I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY TODAY

I'm happy today.

It's what I chose when I first woke up.

Neither me, nor mine Mommy can remember the quote, or who said it, 

but it was something about it being "your choice ~ making your own choice to be happy,

or sad, or angry or upset, or down in the dumps ...".

Now, I've never been to the "dumps" (for which I'm thankful, it doesn't sound like a very

nice place to go), but there are days when I can feel sad, like when mine Mommy has lots and lots

of stuff to do and she's gone for a long time and I kinda-sorta wonder if she's ever coming

back.  And there are times when I get a little angry too, like if my meal time isn't on time,

I know that really really upsets me ~ I mean some purrson has to open those cans!

And OMC, can my fur fly if'n a fave mouse, spring toy, or even one of my

polka dots disappear under that big ice box thing!

But I have figured out, though it has taken awhile to do so,

that my insides feel better, and my outsides work better,

if I wake up and tell myself "I'm happy today".

I won't let these silly little things bother me.

Oh no.  

Oh yes, I choose to be happy today.

HAPPY TUESDAY
