Let's choose each day and every day to keep an attitude of faith and joy and belief and compassion.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.
