Beautiful Life

I recently heard someone say something that truly resonated with me:

Since life is a composite of so many hard, or awkward, or just plain miserable moments, sometimes it's much too easy to forget what a glorious and wonderful time it is meant to be for us. 

No, every moment may not be lovely, but that doesn't mean that our lives can't be. And truly, the more our moments of happiness and calm are surrounded by moments of stress and chaos, the greater the contrast, and the more we will appreciate them when they come.

Because recognizing those often sparse islands of beauty and peace and seeing them for what they really are--tiny morsels of hope and love to keep us moving forward--is really all we need to realize and remember just how beautiful our lives really are.
