life isn't fair or easy. we are in the midst of one of the worst economic crisis ever seen, unrest in the middle east, obesity of epidemic proportions--the list of things to be unhappy about is endless--the real problem is finding things to be happy about. enjoy what is given to you and look for little things to find joy in.
food that is no good for you, yet so good.
flowers so pretty that you don't care when they make you sneeze.
a mom helping her oldest son get ready for his senior prom.
the sun.
faith in something bigger than yourself.
"when you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive--to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
{marcus aurelius}
