Each day I have a choice the moment the alarms goes off or Mitzi wakes before it and gives me a little kiss on the face to say “daddy I need to go out”. The choice in that hazy moment of slumber to wakefulness is how I feel, how do I wish to start this day?
Today I choose joy.
It’s so easy to go through the waking up process and forget to choose how I am going to view the day and ultimately let some unfortunate stub of my toe, or the like, choose how I will start that day for me. I have found that if I remind myself to choose at my waking moment how I want to start my day, how I want to feel and what I want to give those I touch that day, my day will go well and I have a good one.
May you have a good day, a day filled with Joy!
Check out all the wonderful synonyms of joy! I can experience many or all of those if I only choose to. And those antonyms…nope I don’t want those. Make your choice, the choice is yours and have a great day.

A choice, today and every day.
yeah, I would rawther (a nod to spo) be a synonym; today was a beautiful day in philly!
I liked this idea. I chose joy for a Monday morning. Perhaps not my brightest move as I’m involved in a epic cluster #$%& at work this morning. I’m still trying to keep joy in mind.
didja also notice one of the synonyms is “gaiety”? 🙂
