This is an amazing time to be alive. We are blessed with so very much. Believing this can be difficult. It is sometimes difficult to view the problems and despair around us and not become discouraged. I have found that, rather than dwelling on the negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can find greater happiness.
In reviewing my life, I have made some discoveries. One is that countless experiences I have had were not necessarily those one would consider extraordinary. In fact, at the time they transpired they often seemed unremarkable and even ordinary as ordinary could be. And yet, in retrospect, they enriched and blessed lives not the least of which was my own. In your life you have been thrust into undeserved circumstances and maladies. You have cherished life and others. You have been faithful. Perhaps you lost a cherished job or divorced after expending your best efforts. Hear this; your best days are before you. Someone somewhere wants you right now. You are a miracle to so many people.
I would recommend this same exercise to you that you take an inventory of your life and look specifically for the blessings, large and small, you have received.
