Several times each day a new quote appears on my screen. As often as possible I pause for a few seconds, read it, and reflect on the line.

Our lives, my life, is filled with challenges, setbacks, obstacles, and hurt. I am thankful for each of them. That is when I grow. That is when I know I am truly alive. That is when I find beauty in gratitude. Each of those moments help me truly appreciate joy.

Thanks!!!
