"I am ninety-nine years old, feeling good and on a roll," Wayne Williams loved to say. When people asked him for his secret, he said: "Each morning when I start a new day, I have a choice. I can choose to be either happy or unhappy. Every day, I choose happy." I Choose Happy is Wayne's invitation to you to join him as he shares his joyful spirit, upbeat personality and love for life. This incredible book reveals Wayne's tips for better living and explains how you too can "choose happy." Wayne loved people. As he approached the end of his century-long life he said, "I am determined to make a difference in the time I have left. I want to do as much good as I can." This book is Wayne's last gift to the world. With it, he sets a worthy example for anyone who wants to live well and create a written legacy to leave behind. Wayne broke his life into short chapters and spent months sorting through boxes of old photographs. Many people who Wayne had befriended through the years helped him with proofreading, fact checking and technical guidance. The result is a charming, remarkable book, richly illustrated with photos and full of Wayne's humorous memories and life lessons. Wayne tells of his childhood during the Dust Bowl days in the Texas panhandle, growing up as a preacher's son among cherished siblings, WWII service, and his life as an airplane builder, private pilot, home builder and church leader. He delights in more than seventy years of marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Rosie, and the lives of their children. Wayne's memories are personal and unique, but each chapter ends with insights that are universal and timeless. Wayne hoped his example and attitude could help his readers. He wanted not to simply tell about his life but to teach people how they too can live happier and better. Throughout this book, Wayne's spirit shines. He looks back with joy and looks forward with a youthful eagerness to pass on the wisdom life taught him. Completed a few days before he died peacefully at age ninety-nine, only days short of his centennial birthday, this book succeeds in sharing Wayne's enthusiasm for life. His ability to have fun with people, make friends and stay in touch with them reveals itself on every page. Wayne was a simple man devoted to his family, friends and faith, dogged about his passions and determined to do good in the world. The book's title summarizes Wayne's attitude. Rather than brooding upon his struggles, sorrows or setbacks, he purposefully began each day by focusing upon his blessings, successes and opportunities. Wayne ends his book by sharing what he called his Mission Statement and Philosophy for His Life and by encouraging his readers to follow his example and share their stories with world. Join Wayne as he chronicles his life in his own words. Learn his principles for a having a long, rich and rewarding life. You will be enriched and moved by this endearing book. We all have choices to make in life. Wayne hopes that you will follow his example and that you, too, will "choose happy!"
