up

You ever been around someone who is so up that you always want to be around them? Always positive. Always looking for the good. Always trying to make you smile or laugh? I love being around people like that.

My Pa was that way. At a restaurant or a store, my dad was always trying to make those helping us smile. And he was always smiling. If he was chatting with his buddies, they were always laughing about something or another. Even in the worst situations, he brought humor. He was the best to be around. 

I want to be like him. I choose to be like him. I choose to smile, laugh, (try to) be funny, look for the good, and have a positive attitude.
