Just the other day, I believe two days ago I wake up happy, well one day before of what happened. I was fine and soooo thankful that I started this:
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2648683.aspx?p=1#2_23333876
And then I wanted to share with people let's remind ourselves that we should be thankful.
Well the next day I just find out something really, really sad, I'm still preatty hurt by it now but seeing the discussion again as I wanted to go and answer, discuss with people I realized that there's someone watching over us. Maybe I wake up thankful days ago for a boost of energy sent by my angel, the Universe and of course, God so I could get through what happened days later.
Just to see the discussion again made me remind the mood that I was and how happiness IS A CHOICE, and not something that just happen. We decide to let go, we decide to forgive, we decide to be thankful or not, we decide to change a negative to a positive thought.
Happiness doesn't just happen, it takes HARD work 
Working on it everyday, but feeling better now already.

hi katieO yes mylot often offers us discussions that make me realize I am happy evven if I never wanted to come here and never wo uld have had there been any alternative. but its a place to live, food to eat, c omfortable bed, and all in a retirement center thats very tiresome in wa ys to live in but I can make
myself
happy. during the last three y ears life slapped us silly , turned our ordely world upside dhown and left us to sort it out as our little amily was busted. I had been living happily with my son until he was laid off and the damned economy dived into the toilet where it still remains.We were evicted and made homeless. He finally did get a job and it pays fifteen dollars an hour a cut f rom what he is used to getting bu t like he said now days a job is a job and you hang on to it.He is not making nearly enough to get us back into a two bedroom apt but at least he now does have a job. my social security and ssi checks pay the monthly board and room and leave a little over for personal needs.its just not homey but I am ha py as I decide each day to be grateful for what I have and that makes me happy and positive.

Omg are you okay?
Having a comfortable bed, what to eat it's well reminded my dear. You are so positive even have been through such a difficult thing. It even makes me feel bad for been so ungrateful many times.
I find it amazing how there are people that go through difficulties and even are more thankful than others that don't. Thanks for your wise words, for opening my eyes and I promise to try and keep in mind what you thought me.
Thank you for coming.
Hope my light reach you and you feel embraced by a friendly energy. And hope you and your kid, and your family, that everything goes well.

Someone once told me to basically grin and bear it. To smile through the negativity and the bad times and that before you know it the good is back and the positive shines through. I love this site because that is exactly what it does. If you go through my individual discussions you can see my mood change per what happens to me, but I love it, I love life.

Hi SomeCowGirl (really, what do you do? intersting life style) thanks a lot.
Yes, I'm grinning and thank you so much for trying to help. When we are down what to do?
COME TO MYLOT, lol 
MyLotters are sensitive (most part) people, that care and really try to help. Most of the times I want to give a friendly word, to help or anyways but when I'm down (I try to live up to what I learned so it's been years I'm positive and happy most of the time yay), in the few occasions I came here and all of you MyLotters helped me.
I'm thankful for one thing today. For having come here to talk to you guys
Love MyLot, wish they had a heart emoticon s2

Hi katie: I agree on your last statement. Happiness is a state of mind but we need to work day after day to find it. We have the power to be happy and we can chose to be happy or just complain on the things we feel we need to be happy instead of libing it today.
ALVARO
