The juxtaposition of choosing happiness and acknowledging the sadness is a profound one, Alexis. Both are essential to health and mental wellness. Thank you for this thoughtful write, my friend. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

My nephew would smile where there was no happiness. What’s inside is not always apparent. We have happiness and sadness day to day, sometimes within the same day. I really like this monoku duo, Alexis!

The highs and lows of life come to the fore in just two lines, Alexis. Sometimes, despite all good intentions, we have no control over moods or situations. ~ Best regards // paul

Life is a roller coaster dear Alexis and we have to roll with the punches. Up in the clouds and happy today, but sad yesterday - will see what it will be tomorrow. You are quite right, thought provoking write. Love and hugs, Jennifer.

Creative work. Sometimes it is hard to handle sadness or depression. I think it can just overwhelm us, and if it gets really bad it needs some professional help. Thanks for your kind visit to my page. I appreciate the time spent there. We are to have another cold front moving through bringing some very old air to the south. I hope this and every day is a good day for you may there be moments all through the day that bring you a smile. Sara

Interesting that choice is the catalyst as it seems that external happenings have much to play on the subject. Yet, I agree and know that it is our choice and your Monoku so well crafts the process in few but well chosen words! A great reminder for me this morning !!! Happy Thursday Alexis xxoo
