"Each morning when I open my eyes 
I say to myself: 
I, not events, have the power to make me happy 
or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. 
I have just one day, today, 
and I'm going to be happy in it...”
- Groucho Marx
 

Is it as simple and easy as that? It can be. Sure, now and then, life's happenings may break our heart and shake us to our core. But for the most part, day by day, especially when we live in the now, we can be joyfully alive, open to the adventure of our life, and happy.

Let's aim to live this way today.

With love,
