Choosing To Shine

Every day in every way we get choices
We can choose to dazzle and delight
Or choose to disappoint and demean

Every facial expression
Every word choice
Every eye roll can amuse or hurt

We create our day every day.
Showing people our shine or our skunk.
Optimistic people rising to the top of energy hills.
Bringing like-minded people up with them.

Positivity is a pendulum that swings people to the top.
Reinforcing the ones who are ready to be joyful.
Discouraging the ones who are insanely jealous of it.
