Think of all the beauty still left around us...and be happy...  Too many times in our lives we get too concerned with the things that we don't have, to appreciate the things in life that we do have, that make life the most beautiful.  We have to remember that in life if there are no dark times, then we would never be able to see something as beautiful as the stars that shine above. Appreciate everything that we go through in life, including the bad times, the times that we have to go without many of the things that we desire, the times that require us to work and to sacrifice without seeing much reward. Also remember that everyday is a day that we can be a blessing to others, because blessing others is essentially what life is about. Remember that even if we feel we don't have much, there is always someone out there with less than us...Be a blessing to them, and we will bless ourselves as well...
