One would think happiness would be easy to come by these days. But, we somehow still manage to let sadness and sorrow seep through the cracks. I am not pointing out flaws in others without admitting my own guilt in the matter. In the ebbs and lows alike, there should be happiness, and dwelling on life’s lows will steal joy from you and me every time. There are so many things to be thankful for all year round, but I think especially this time of year, we should be doubly grateful for the springtime. The warmth and flowers should make anyone happy. Life is crazy busy, and I can only imagine that it will get crazier with time. I feel like I go a million miles a minute between school, work, and whatever else life decides to throw my way. I do not stop as long as something is going on, but since classes have dismissed for the summer, it has mellowed out (just a little). I guess you could say I am trying to slow down to smell the roses (that I am oh so allergic to), but that is not stopping me from enjoying all that spring has to offer. And with a Michigan spring, I will take any half-way decent weather. My point here is that it should not take that much to make us happy. Sure, there are going to be days when it feels like the world is consuming us and there is no end in sight but be thankful for the ability to work through whatever comes. It may be more comfortable to sit back and watch the rain pour, but life will be more rewarding if we grow through the challenges. Look beyond the showers and find the happy blooms of life.
