I am very much an optimist. Happiness comes from within.
It has taken me years and years to figure out my mother and sister's main goal in life is to suck the joy out of it for everyone around them. Needless to say I spend as little time with either of them as I can.

A good friend of mine who was going through some real tribulations always had a smile.
One day I asked her how she could be so happy when things were falling apart around her.
She said, "Every morning when I wake up, I can choose to be happy, or choose to be sad. I choose happy"
It really is that simple ♥

I figure if I am upbeat and positive, people will either:
1) ignore me and not be my friend 'cause they can't stand it
or

My daughter's friend once asked me why i was so upbeat- even if my kids anger me. I told her I'm old enough to know they have to make their own decisions ans although they are not the decisions I would make, I just watch. It's their life.
It's so much easier to be happy!!!

I refuse to spend much time with people who are miserable. It's a waste of time and I choose to be happy.
I would rather be alone that with someone who is just cranky, complaining etc. I like being with me!! :D:D
