I Choose

I heard this recently and it impacted me a great deal. Most everything in my world comes down to "I choose."

I choose to have a heart that loves big.

I choose to be more than others were for me. 

I choose to work at a high stress but incredibly rewarding job. 

I choose my children, all of them, those I birthed, those I chose, those who chose me, and those I never held. 

I choose to love and be committed to my Stephen. 

I choose to keep my distance from things and people who hurt me

I choose to love broken things.

I choose to keep showing up, even when I'm tired.

I choose to know the good even if I can't see it.

I choose to allow myself to feel all of the things.

These are just a few.
