Life is no pig.
Our life is the greatest gift of all creation.

when we are shocked by the stock market,
or dismayed by our choice of political candidates,
let us not lash out in anger.

with some lipstick and some party clothes.
See life clearly - no rose colored glasses -
and then CHOOSE to love life.
CHOOSE to be happy, be joyful, be grateful,
be forgiving of everyone and of every act
we believe has hurt us.
Life just "IS."
We get to CHOOSE our relationship with life.
