The Serendipity of a Life Well Lived – Travel Blog by Eleanor

A Journey Toward Love, Light, and Living Fully


Now, I choose peace. I choose love. I choose happiness. I want to wake up with gratitude, spend time with people who bring me joy, and focus on what truly matters. Arguments and negativity have no place in my life anymore. Instead, I embrace laughter, kindness, and meaningful moments. I want to be surrounded by love not just in relationships but in the way I
live each day. I want to appreciate my friends, and take care of my own well-being.

There comes a time in life when the noise fades, the chaos quiets, and the constant need to be “right” simply loses its value. That is when you realize:

YOU HAVE A CHOICE!

Now, I choose peace.

I choose to wake up each day with gratitude in my heart, no matter the season I’m in. I choose to spend time with people who uplift me, not drain me. I choose to walk away from arguments, from unnecessary drama, and from negativity that has no place in the life I am building.

Now, I choose love.

Not just love in relationships, but love as a way of living. Love in how I speak, how I forgive, how I give grace.
I want my days to be filled with love—in the tone of my home, in my friendships, in the quiet ways I care for myself and others.

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)

Now, I choose happiness.

Not the fleeting kind that depends on things or circumstances—but the deep, quiet joy that comes from contentment, appreciation, and inner peace. I want to laugh more, cherish more, and focus only on what truly matters. I want to let go of what doesn’t serve me anymore.

At the end of the day, life isn’t about who was right or wrong. It’s about the love we gave, the peace we protected, and the moments we lived with intention.

And if, when it is all over, I am asked what I did with my life, I want to be able to say with an open heart:

“I offered love.” — Terri St. Cloud

    💗 A Gentle Reminder

    Choose joy. Choose peace. Choose love. Every single day.

    “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… And be thankful.” — Colossians 3:15 (NIV)
