Choose Joy

I've gone back and read my posts for this year, and it's very depressing. I was driving back from the gym this morning (yeah me!) and was thinking about my crop tomorrow. I get to see my sister, and some friends who I haven't seen in several months. And that made me happy. So it got me thinking about CM and how it lets me do something I really enjoy with some really good friends. And that got me thinking to Showcase in two weeks! It's the 25th anniversary, which is very cool. But I don't want to get too excited. In my perfect world, they would invite Cheryl Lightle and Susan Ida-Pederson back for it, which I would totally love. So I just checked her facebook page, and Susan is coming! Anyway, several years ago she made a speech on choosing Joy. And I realized that I'm not doing that. I'm choosing everything else but that. And it's wearing me down. So I have to start doing that now. Life is too short to be stressed or depressed, or any of those emotions. I have to learn how to get rid of them and just choose joy.
