Budget season is one of the trickiest times of all to keep that positive energy flowing…good luck, and thanks for your comment!

Very timely once again…especially in the middle of budget season! Gotta watch myself.

Thanks John – and great point! If only it were as easy as making a choice once and being perfect at it from then on! Unfortunately the reality is that we constantly must challenge ourselves to stay true and constant to the decisons that will ultimately lead to happiness…easier said than done!

What a great post and rich follow-up comments!

Self-awareness of what may be bothering oneself and the commitment to address that is what makes the reality of CONTINUALLY choosing happiness a reality.

Via reading Wendell Berry I learned the important detail that “a” choice itself is actually not singularly, we have to CONTINUE to make that choice again and again, ie. reduce the carbon footprint, be compassionate, be empathetic, by happy, etc.

And the “commitment behind the complaint”: SUPERCOOL. It recognizes both the worth of the complainer and (possibly) the complaint which we may wish were not so constantly and vociferously communicated (especially at a wedding. come on now!).

Great stuff,
John
