Choosing joy.

Comparison is the thief of joy. 
-Theodore Roosevelt 

Sometimes I get caught up in comparing myself to others.  There are occassions when I think about a specific person and wish I had some random quality/talent/feature that I see in them.  Why does my mind focus on comparison? 
I will never be able to pour a joy refill into those moments that were filled with doubt and feelings of inadequate-ness. They're just plain wasted once I choose to compare rather than just accept and smile!
I am going to strive to choose joy and positivity again, and again!  Yep.  That sounds good.

Feeling joy! Watching a Loma Linda, CA sunrise last Sabbath. :)
