You Can Choose to Be Happy
Last night, I decided to express gratitude upon waking to set the tone for the day. It's not that I don't express gratitude daily; I simply find it difficult first thing in the morning. I have never been a morning person, waking up bright and bubbly as some do. When my alarm goes off, I hit the snooze button two or three times before rising from bed. It takes me approximately fifteen to twenty minutes before I'm entirely able to function. Today would be different.

I Deleted My News App
You may be curious why anyone would want to delete their news app. How on earth could one stay informed? In the beginning, the idea of having access to news twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week was exciting. I grew up with newspapers and magazines delivered to our home regularly. We had a set of Brittanica encyclopedias that my sister and I loved browsing through at an early age. On visits to our grandparent's home, I often observed my grandfather reading the Philadelphia Inquirer, The Bulletin, The Daily News, and our only Black newspaper, the Tribune. So naturally, my desire to stay abreast of the news was second nature. Being informed has always been important to my family.
