choices

today

I had several moments

that created memories

that trigger feelings of frustration and anger

tonight 

my heart is at rest and peace

because I dealt with the ugly feelings 

rather than denying or trying to ignore them

today 

I had several moments

which have created memories

that trigger feelings of being cherished and loved

tonight

as I prepare to sleep

my heart is content and

happiness resides alongside my joy as I replay those moments

each day

offers new opportunities

I cannot control which memories will pop into my head,
but I can choose which memories I will allow myself to treasure
