I've never been so glad to see a year end. Today is just one day away from one of the most trying years of my life. Realistically I know this year could (and I say could instead of will because I'm an optimist) have challenges ahead for me. Bumps in the road of life as I call them.
Right now, in this moment, the road is flat. A calm spot. And I'm sucking up every second of that calm.
Life is an adventure, ultimately. Some people face adversity with an attitude of fatalistic gloom and doom. But if you see things negatively, it's easy to lose the ability to laugh. If you can't laugh, your soul withers.
I choose to laugh. Every day I will find something to laugh at. I choose adventure.
I choose...LIFE.
...and I wouldn't mind getting into that size 10 top in my closet, calling my name. That's optimism too, isn't it?
