happiness is a decision
it's a state of mind
you choose to be happy
and sometimes i forget
we have every friday off. today is mindo. ziplining through the jungle. and tubing down the river. but i didn't go because i was still feeling crummy this morning. so i've been laying in bed all day watching movies and reading and feeling all sorry for myself. waaaaah boo. but then i decided to shower...
and i decided to be happy. and productive. so i'm spending my day folding laundry, cleaning my room, making new playlists on itunes. and maybe another movie.
im in ecuador. how many people my age get to go to south america for three months to take care of little orphan kids and not have to pay for it? i am the luckiest. and i'm grateful for the people who helped me get here. cause it really is the time of my life. some days are hard. and i miss my family, my friends, my kansas. but i need to remember how lucky i am to be here.
i could choose to whine and complain
but i choose to be happy
