Choosing To Be Happy – No. 52

On January 24, 2015June 16, 2016 By ptduffy

Today I choose to be happy
For I have come out of the woods
Escaping from the tangle of fallen branches and briers
It has been a long and difficult journey to say the least
A bitter-sweet end as I step into the sun

  Yes it is Lisa! I feel like a large burden has been lifted from my shoulders. My first day of the rest of my life has been a day filled with happiness.

Hi Patrick! Long time…

I love the pictures! They correspond so well with the words beneath them… As long as gratitude is possible; JOY is always possible (Ann Voskamp, 1,000 Gifts). And Matt Maher — (deep sigh). What a beautiful heart he has for Jesus! Empty and Beautiful is @ the top of my list.

God’s VERY best in your Journey!

  Thanks Marlene. A bitter-sweet new chapter. I choose to be happy and reject the root of bitterness.
