Everyday that you have, you have a choice what kind of day you are going to have regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in. It doesn't mean that in the middle of something less than great that you break out in a song and dance. No. It simply means that we each have a choice to find joy in everyday things, people, good memories, pets, whatever it might be instead of putting all your focus on things we may have no control in. It allows us to still be thankful for all the good things still in our lives enabling us to handle other things going on.
