I love this quote, it is on my desktop at work and I pretty much have it memorized. It is simple yet powerful, and it really speaks to me.
"Some murmur when the sky is clear and wholly bright to view,
If one small speck of dark appear in their great heaven of blue,
But some with thankful love are filled,
if but one streak of light,
one ray of God's good mercy gild the darkness of their night."
I find that I am so much happier when I am focusing on the good bright spots of life, the blessings, the times of joy and happiness, rather than the bad things. It would seem obvious, to focus on the good things, but sometimes it is easy to pick out the dark spots and focus on them. My goal is to try harder to appreciate all the good, and not ask why so much.
