Choosing: Reflection at the end of the summer solstice

where I choose to be happy

Like many people, I find myself in a place I would not choose to be, given a true choice. And so I choose to make it into a place I like to be. Tough work, but it has to be done to be happy.

My old cat seems happy enough, too, on this summer solstice.
