Enjoy Today

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

-Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, U2

Joy is a choice. It has been impressed upon me lately that if I am unhappy
where I am, going somewhere else will not necessarily alleviate that disconent.
It's much like the infamous, when you are married you will be happy, when
you are married, when you have children you will be happy...and on and on
it goes...joy is a choice that we have to make here in this moment....where
we are right now. I know I struggle with this from time to time...this time
in my life being one of those times...but the fact is that God has us where we
are to be for a reason and I need to simply trust His goodness and choose to
be content...it was just funny that as I was emailing my "American Sister",
Cori (who, oddly enough, is from Canada) about this very thing, I had U2
playing (which I don't often listen to, but was just in a mood for soemething
different), and this song above came on and it was just perfect...so I wanted
to share. :) As my cell phone reads when you open it "ENJOY TODAY."
