Every day when I wake up I choose to be
Happy. Every time I see an opportunity to choose happiness I do. Maybe my mother taught me that but I have a clear memory of making a choice.
We were on a ski trip to Lake Tahoe with my sister and a friend of hers. A very bad snow storm so we chose to approach from Donner Pass. And drive the east road to South shore. We stopped at the ski resort on the North shore. And had a fun day of skiing.
When we got to the car the locks were frozen shut. It took more time to head south. The other girls were scared. But I told them it was an adventure we probably won’t forget. We would fine.
I didn’t see the point to telling just scared I was. The roads were really bad and extremely dark. I drove as fast as I safely could.
When we reached the hotel, the innkeeper said our Mothers had been calling, and were upset.
If I had gotten upset like they were I would not have been able to drive.
I don’t think my sister ever forgave me for trying to keep it light. She started accusing me of having a gallows laugh, and being crazy. Later she told me she hated me. We haven’t spoken in many years.
So today I speak to audiences about the importance of choosing happiness.
