Sometimes we make being happy so difficult. And being thankful such a chore.

About This Quote

There are times in life when we expect the worst. We go through tough times but we expect the worst to happen. It takes time to find relief, even when it’s in front of our eyes. It’s not easy to see the sunshine; we don’t know what we’re looking for and we ultimately miss it.

Sometimes we make being happy so difficult and being thankful such a chore. We try and try and try and try and never quite get it right and we end up feeling like failure, like we could have done better.
