    Did you know that you could choose to be happy? After surviving several personal trials and tribulations, author Melanie Thomas-Price discovered that her happiness is tied to her free will to live a life of joy. She experienced a devastating car accident in 1994 that would change the course of her life forever; then, within a few months, another devastating car accident changed her life again. She was lost and unsure how to rebuild her life. As she searched for a way through this difficult time, she found the thing she needed the most was a sincere relationship with Jesus. You Can Choose to Be Happy chronicles her journey from the darkness into the lightand true happiness.

    For some it takes great effort to cultivate joy and happiness. Thomas-Price talks about how she found the courage to choose happiness in the wake of so much sadness. She encourages everyone to look at lifes circumstances and to change them by accepting the Word of God. You Can Choose to Be Happy includes short passages to read and meditate upon. Then, a place to reflect in writing is provided to encourage you to record your thoughts. This journal is designed to help you train yourself to reframe your mindset. By altering your habits, you can transform your outcomes and live a happy life.

      Da-Niece Monea Andrews Thomas

      Da-Niece came into my life and changed me forever. Over the years people have complimented me for being a good mother but I can’t take credit for that. After the accident our trials have taught me the essence of unconditional love, the importance of forgiveness and how to overcome. Da-Niece was the strongest person I have ever known. Witnessing her life gave me strength when I was weak. When times were sad and tough I learned to look to God for strength. I believe that Da-Niece was an angel God sent to help me discover the true meaning of unconditional love and forgiveness. Subsequently, my time with Da-Niece demonstrated for me how precious and complex life can be. Most of all she taught me the things that are truly important in life, a relationship with God, a unified family and a willingness to change .

      Da-Niece you are loved! From my arms to your Father’s

      Darnell Andrews

      Da-Niece’s daddy, Delores’ son and my friend. You were an extraordinary father, treasured son and a cherished friend. You are missed!

      Delores Andrews

      Mom-Mom Lores in my Da-Niece voice, I thank God for your support over the years. I appreciate our relationship. You have always been good to me and I submit my sincere gratitude for our friendship.

      Jackie Johnson

      I will never forget how you and Teresa came to the scene of the accident and immediately went in action praying and petitioning to God on Da-Niece’s behalf. I remember going to see you at the hospital and telling you how things were going for Da-Niece. The minute that I whispered Da-Niece’s name in your ear you opened your eyes and focused in on me to let me know that you heard me. We had some great times together and your were an amazing Woman of God. Rest in peace my dear friend!

      Mom and Dad

      Cora and Jasper Thomas

      Mom and Daddy there are no word to express the love I have in my heart for the both of you. You have always been my inspiration, teachers, and advocates. Thanks for giving me the appreciation of the things of God. I value all that you are to me. I honor God for you both.

      Pastor Paxton J. A. Price

      Who would have known? God has a great sense of humor. When God choose a husband for me he hand-picked you. You have been my Pastor, lover, friend and most precious gift. I am so thankful for my life with you.

      The Hand of God: A Lamb Is Hurt

      The family was headed north on US 13 between Laurel and Seaford, Delaware. There was small talk of what tomorrow would bring—and then a sudden explosion of metal colliding as an eastbound vehicle slammed into the Thomases’ car and changed their world forever. Bodies in the northbound family car were flung about like ragdolls. The force tore the left side of the car apart; the open wound was wide enough to tear the door off. The forces of motion and gravity brought the wreckage to a stop, and a dazed mother looked into the back to take her five-year-old daughter to safety. Shock, fear, and astonishment are the words closest to describing her feelings at that time, but they are far too weak in the world of written or spoken words to represent the state of mind that was present in this young mother’s moment of awesome terror.

      My baby! she cried as she hunted the embankment and field for her gift from God. Every mother’s worst nightmare unfolded as she raced to look under the car. Her baby’s twisted and crushed body was trapped under tons of metal, motionless and silent with her little foot up against her face.
