When I get up in the morning, I try to believe that living is worth it. On many days, it is, at least for me. I have a man who loves me, step-daughters who love me, friends. Yet there is also a lot of pain in my life, so many things going wrong that I just can't seem to overcome no matter how hard I try and no matter how hard I pray.

What is going on in your life that is causing you pain? What brings you happiness? What has kept you going each day?
