I If I so choose,
to take a trip
to have a family,
to build a career,
to take a nap,
I so choose to do it with joy.

If I so choose,
to spend my time in service,
to be alone,
to be in the company of many,
to work all day through,
I so choose to do it in joy.

I’ll laugh wickedly.
Dance unapologetically.
Cry till I am cleansed.
I’ll so choose to do it and enJOY.
Thrilled in the thought that it’s all in my hands.
Whatever I so choose;
May it be sprinkled with laughter, marinated in love that is seasoned in sweet JOY.
And so it is.
Joy is what I choose to do.
