These are hard times we're living in today, don't you think? It's so easy to get distracted by all the day-to-day challenges. Sometimes, getting through one day can be hard enough! (Not to mention those times when TANTRUM seems to be part of your kids' SOP.)
GivesMeHope.com is a site that is updated daily by ordinary people, like you and me, with real experiences that inspired them. It's similar to Twitter, except that every single post is inspirational and positive.
I find that when I need a little boost on very trying days, reading about people's little stories of joy moves me to look past the imperfections of the not-so-ideal situations I am in.
Recently, I read these from the site and they made me smile:
"Today, my teacher was telling us a story about her friend's adopted son and how he got picked on for it. One day at school a boy went up to him and said, 'I came from my mommy's tummy, where did you come from?' knowing the boy was adopted. His response? 'I came from my mommy's heart.' He was 6 years old at the time."
"Exactly 8 months ago, my grandpa lost his battle with cancer. By the end, he couldn't talk and wouldn't respond to any of us. A few moments before he took his last breath, he looked at my grandma and said, as clear as day, 'I love you.' They were married 51 years."

Funny Kid Quotes
Kids say the silliest, funniest things, don’t they? I believe that one of the many perks of being a parent is the entertainment that kids provide when they innocently attempt to understand the world around them. Ever wondered how their little minds understand LOVE? Here are some quotes that cracked me up and made me go awww:
What is love?
"I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful."
"Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too."
"A man and a woman promise to go through sickness and illness and diseases together."
"I'm not rushing into being in love. I'm finding fourth grade hard enough."
About kissing
"When a person gets kissed for the first time, they fall down, and they don't get up for at least an hour."
"If it's your mother, you can kiss her anytime. But if it's a new person, you have to ask permission."
When they see lovers
"Romantic adults usually are all dressed up, so if they are just wearing jeans it might mean they used to go out or they just broke up."
How to make people fall in love with you
"Tell them that you own a whole bunch of candy stores."
"Yell out that you love them at the top of your lungs. And don't worry if their parents are right there."
The best age to get married
"Twenty three is the best age because you know the person forever by then."
