Rainbows and Puppy Dogs

I'm being all happy today. I straightened my hair and am in a good mood. I got me some morning sex today too, so I'm sure that helped!
I'm just feeling optimistic overall. I work at a military base and one of the commanders sends out email updates...he's so funny and has a great way of looking at career vs. life, how to be happy, and how to deal with difficulties. He wrote this the other day:
Okay, how about: Accept that you don't have control over everything, that sometimes life is simply unfair, and when you wake up in the morning, you are stuck with the situation you're in. You can either decide to be Mister Grumpy or Miss Miserable, or you can recognize that there is indeed a difference between "The Situation You're In" and "How You're Going to Handle the Situation You're In." If this sounds a bit "Don't Worry, Be Happy," then I accept that criticism…but remember that I'm the one saying it and I've got a really bad cough! Sure, I feel pretty worn out…but what of it? I may as well continue to enjoy life as much as I can, because I still appear to be using up those heartbeats and I don't get a refund on them.
So I may be cheesy and a little too rainbows and puppies for my normal self, but I'm enjoying today.
