This is when we need to put on our rose-colored glasses and think of things that make us smile. Think of things that make us feel warm inside.

Seeing and smelling the woods awaken in the spring after a long grueling winter . Quieting down in the evening and reading my children their favorite bedtime stories. Hearing my family say, "I love you". ,.I '
