So for 2011, I am going to aspire to be HAPPY!!

I am going to wake up every day and find the things that make me Happy. I will chose to be Happy everyday!

No matter how cloudy or gray the skies in my life may be, no matter what life may bring my way, I aspire to be ......

HAPPY!

BUT to do so, I need to be GRATEFUL!

Grateful for all the things that I have listed above that make me HAPPY!
