Everyday we're faced with struggles. That is just a part of living. Without the struggle, you wouldn't be able to appreciate the good in life. This life is a blessing from God and is beautiful. As I was walking to class today, I began to think about happiness. What makes me happy? What makes other people happy? Why are some people so unable to see how blessed they are and soak that in?
