Don't Worry, Be Happy

It's the healthy mocha in the Graeter's mug and - still - the winter robe and nursing duty.

Wise counsel suggests I read the book of Job in this season. It seems like I/we just can't catch a break. In the midst of blessing after blessing after blessing, I find that there is also struggle after after struggle after struggle.

My perpetually joyful person is really challenged. I'm scraping to find the joy. The happiness. The gratitude.

Until this morning.

Sometimes the deep water isn't oh-so-deep. Sometimes it's just an overwhelming encouragement to "wake up happy."

Choosing my attitude today with the understanding it will influence my attitude tomorrow with the understanding ...

Live in freedom.
