At the age of 18, I made up my mind to never have another bad day in my life. I dove into a endless sea of gratitude from which I've never emerged.

There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by.

I try to make the good days great and take something positive from the days I'm not feeling good - work on technique or something like that.

What makes me happy is having a really nice day out with my mum, or getting better at something I've been working hard at.

After my parents' divorce when I was 4, I spent weekends with my dad before we finally moved to California. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was incapable of enjoying the day's activities, of being in the moment, because I was already dreading the inevitable goodbye of Sunday evening.

You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never had any bad days, you would never have that sense of accomplishment!

Like any kind of writing, there are good days and frustrating days. But even frustrating days can be rewarding sometimes.

My school days were the happiest days of my life; which should give you some indication of the misery I've endured over the past twenty-five years.

I seriously feel like the best days are ahead, and I like the idea of getting to do everything I did before but with more knowledge, experience, and street smarts. There's a certain love, appreciation, and gratitude that you have at 40 that you don't have when you're younger, and it makes every accomplishment feel so much better.

You choose to be happy, and in life we have as many good days as bad days. I try to find and record those songs that pull you through the bad days, and keep you believing that the good days are just around the corner.
