I love your perspective. Hubby has dementia and we were up all night for no good reason. He woke up at noon, grumpy and complaining. My niece is in town for the weekend and coming to visit in a little while. After reading your post, I've decided to feel happy, joyful, and not let hubby's disposition take that from me.

In my younger days I firmly believed that putting a smile on my face actually made me feel happier. I had forgotten that technique but I'm going to practice it again. It's a beautiful day here. Warm, windows open. I'm actually quite blessed.
