So sad to say goodbye to Downton Abbey. Loved the characters
and their stories. I'm always glad when a writer gives his characters happy
endings. My first thought was: wouldn't it be nice if we could all write our
own happy ending. My next thought was: actually, we can!
We're not in control of everything in our lives, but we are
in control of our actions and reactions. If we work hard to pursue our goals,
we often get what we want. If we run into unfortunate circumstances, it is up
to us to make the best of it.
Some people meet one unfortunate circumstance after another
and feel like nothing ever goes their way. Some people are unlucky. But we
still have control over our feelings. This is not always easy. Anger and
depression don't always go away just because that is our wish. Changing our
feelings is possible, even if it takes lots of effort and time.
I work hard to release my anger and sadness so that I can
move on to being happy. It often takes time and effort, but it is so
worthwhile. I choose to feel good because that is what I want out of life.
Being happy is a choice. May you have good luck in your
pursuit of happiness!
