Life

Life doesn’t always give us the joy we want.

We don’t always get our hopes and dreams,

and we don’t always get our own way.

But don’t give up hope,

because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.

Look for the beauty around you –in nature,

in others, in yourself –and believe in the love of friends, family, and human kind.

You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word.

It is still around, if you just look for it.

Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy,

happiness, patience, and understanding.

Believe in the goodness of others and remember that

anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.

Even when you feel as though here isn’t a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems,

you can always do a little –and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.
