How can I not? I am so blessed. I've thought and thought about this question in depth, actually. My boyfriend always calls me an "eternal optimist". First of all, I know Happiness is a choice because there have been times when I did not choose it. And for the really tough stuff, this is getting very personal, but I know it is my Faith that brings me around to the brighter side of life. My Maker takes care of me. I know it and live with that peace. Besides, being positive makes you live longer! It's like yoga for your soul!:)
