Be Happy

I read all kinds of blogs, web pages etc. everyday while working. One from Laurell K Hamilton really struck me. She resolved to be happy which I think is excellent. Only we can change ourselves and our environment. I had someone from my past ask me recently what happened to me. My first response was what do you mean? Then I realized LIFE happened to me- Marriage, childbirth,divorce etc..I had become afraid, negative and fearful. So not like me at all but I guess like I had allowed myself to be. But after reading her post I thought I would make the conscious decision to change my outlook and look for positive in everything and just be happy to be alive.
