The Path To True Happiness

It's our choice, life is simple or complex We are the ones in control of our own destiny Some events may at times shake our resolve But if we stay in control of our ship And stay focused on what's really important Life has a way of presenting us with the options It's up to each one of us to recognize them And choose the right path to true happiness Happy New Year Everyone! © Jack Ellison 2105

The one thing kids, life, and Dragon have taught me is... Even though we can guide our ship in certain directions... We are never really in control. Serendipity and loss are the world's little surprises always awaiting us. But we can choose to sit still or to move in the directions we want to try. Why sit dreaming of the past when we can explore the future? Happy New Year! Now go out and explore... Come here Dragon... We have some flying to do...

You are very philosophical this morning, dear Carol! Don't just sit there, "explore the future"! Love it and you... big hugs XOX
