Hi Ho, Ho Hi, its off to Tuba Chrismas we go

Tomorrow we head to Tuba Christmas. Jackson will perform in an All-Tuba instrument outdoor Christmas concert. Its held in a beautiful park reminnescent of NYC's central park, and btw, happens to be named "Central Park". ;-)

The first year we went, I sat on the lovely green lawn watching Jackson play, and cried. Angry that his father chose to drink instead of watch his son play in a such a memorial event. Sad for all he was missing in this wonderful childs life. So melancholy at how Alcoholism had devestated our lives.

This year, I could care less. I have no more sadness, no more anger (Just for today). Im in full acceptance of what has occured and I CHOOSE to be happy. B HAPPIE! That is my theme.

Lief is all about choices. I chose to live in gratitude today, being happy over being right.

You have never heard a more beautiful Christmas song til you hear it on 100 tuba's.

Happy Tuba to you all! :)

To be happy, I have to....

Take responsibility for my life

The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom, Courage.
-Thucydides

To be happy you should have freedom and the most essential freedom is the freedom to choose. No matter how bad a situation is, you can always choose how you respond to it. People can annoy you, but it’s up to you whether or not you will resent.

But, as the quote above says, freedom takes courage. Freedom to choose requires the courage to take responsibility for your life. You shouldn’t blame someone else when something goes wrong. Take the responsibility and you have the power to choose
