Life is no pig.

or dismayed by our choice of political candidates,

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.

We get to CHOOSE our relationship with life.
