Away from Her - Choosing Happiness Over Anger
Marian:
I'm thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just decide. Things aren't ever what you hoped they'd be. Not ever, for anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who... accept what comes their way.
Grant:
Which kind of person are you?
Marian: [sigh]
I was pretty mad about it. But now... looking at what came my way... I think I could be the other kind of person. Quite the philosopher, huh?
