Most days come with complications. Plans get derailed, moods shift, energy dips, and people test our patience. But every now and then, someone reminds us just how simple life can be — if we let it. Enter George Raveling with the thought of the day, offering us the simplest kind of wisdom:
“Okay, George, you have two options today, and only two. You can be happy, or you can be very happy.”
Let’s talk about what it means to wake up and choose joy. Even — especially — on a Tuesday.
Thought of the Day
“Okay, George, you have two options today, and only two. You can be happy, or you can be very happy.” — George Raveling
Question of the Day
What is your favorite day of the week and why?
The Radical Simplicity of Choosing Joy
There’s a difference between having joy and choosing it. A lot of people wait around for happiness like it’s a lucky break — the kind of thing that shows up unannounced when life finally behaves itself. But George flips that on its head. He gives us only two boxes to check. Not “miserable” or “fine.” Not “meh” or “maybe.” Just happy or very happy.
The brilliance of that is subtle but powerful. It gives us agency. It reframes happiness as a choice, not a condition. You don’t have to feel like being happy to decide to be happy. And once that decision is made, even if your outer world doesn’t shift, your inner one often does.
Happiness becomes less about what happens to you, and more about what you bring to whatever happens.

Why Tuesday Deserves More Love
Let’s be honest — Tuesday rarely makes anyone’s highlight reel. It’s not the shiny start of the week like Monday. It’s not hump day. It’s not thirsty Thursday, Friday eve, or the glorious weekend. Tuesday is… there.
And maybe that’s exactly why I like it.
Tuesday doesn’t ask for attention. It’s unpretentious. It just shows up and does the job. No spotlight, no drama. It’s the kind of day you can build momentum with. It’s when the week starts to take shape. And if you can learn to love a quiet, hard-working Tuesday, you can probably learn to love the quieter, less glamorous parts of your life too.
Joy doesn’t always come with fireworks. Sometimes it looks like a Tuesday doing its job.
