life doesn't always give us the joys we want. we don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. but don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. you can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. it is all around, if you just look for it.
