There is good in life every day.
Take a few minutes every day to distract yourself from your concerns-
long enough to draw strength from a tree or to find pleasure in a bird’s song.
Return a smile; realize that life is a series of levels,
cycles of ups and downs- some easy, some challenging.
Through it all, we learn,
we grow strong in faith,
and we mature in understanding.
The difficult times are often the best teachers, and there is good to be found in all situations.
Reach for the good, and find joy in life.
