This is my niece Kate. She's learning how to walk.
That's right. I'm content. I'm so grateful that my life is content right now. I have amazing friends who support me. I have parents who love me. I have siblings that care about me. I have a Father in Heaven who is always there for me. I am feeling content.
How can I hold on to this feeling?
There are hundreds of thousands, millions even, who roam this Earth in search of answers. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why is my friend dying? What is the point of all this? I guess I could respond to them with the typical gospel answer, but I don't want to.
I just want to say: There is a reason for living. All of us are here on this planet we call home for some reason. It's hard to find out that reason. Perhaps we're here just to experience life and do the best we can. Perhaps we're here to be that friend who always has an extra shoulder to cry on. Perhaps we're the people who help others appreciate what's best in them. Whatever the purpose of our existence, we are here to relish life. We are here to be enveloped in every beautiful, bittersweet moment.
One of my favorite Disney quotes: "Everybody has problems. Everybody has bad times. Do we sacrifice all the good times because of them? No."
Cherish all the bad, ugly and nasty moments. Sometimes, they make the good moments in life even better.
That's all for now.
