“Sometimes we make being happy so difficult.
And being thankful such a chore.
Starting the day like a job we hate.
Beginning it like swallowing ten tablespoons
of devil made cough syrup.
Because, somehow, along the way, we forget
that being alive and healthy and happy are
noble goals – or just good ideas.
And that the opposite of being alive is being
dead. What a choice.”
