modern declaration

I, having survived snowstorms and sunshine;
having resided in the big city, the sprawling countryside, and the suburban in-between;
having learned from my choices and resulting experiences;

declare

that happiness is a matter of choice;
that circumstances should not get in the way of enjoying my situation in life;
that no matter what my current environment, laundry, grocery shopping, budgeting, and parenting will still have their challenges; and
that, just like I can find bad things anywhere, I can also find good things anywhere.

I believe that it is my choice to either wither in misery or to happily bloom where I am planted,
And I've decided to blossom.
