Today was a hard day.
The kind of day where it takes a lot of effort to remember
that there is beauty everywhere.
That I am surrounded by it.
That life, itself, is beautiful.
Please let me never lose this ability:
to pull myself out of a funk and find Hope again.
Love is all over the place.
I'm in charge of my own beautiful;
I just have to keep my eyes open and believe it.

I have been in this place. Two things I tried- a running list of anything that made me smile. Writing it helped, and so did reading it..
And a box of happy things, to go through when I was not feeling so wonderful.
And I think your blog may help many people remember the beautiful too....
Yes...life IS beautiful. And so is your blog...and your children...and your wife. Hugs to you all. May your tough days be few and far between.
It IS hard to see it, even when you are sitting in the midst of it. But it is beautiful, heartbreakingly beautiful. And your boys are like little rays of sunshine, and your wife is beautiful, and it will be ok. Big hugs.
Sometimes finding the beautiful takes all of a day's effort. It's easier when you just wake up in the morning and crash into the beautiful without even trying. Thanks for sharing your trying times. You guys are awesome.
The sunflowers are gorgeous. One of those things that puts on smile on my face even on the hard days is listening to Dar Williams' version of "Better Things." Here's wishing you the bluest skies...
I agree life is beautiful.
