There are trials in life that seem endless. For example, my mother's health remains very fragile. It's been several years now watching her struggle, and honestly, it causes a lot of helplessness and exhaustion.

In addition to this, at the beginning of the year, my husband became seriously ill. He had two brain surgeries. Thank God everything went well—the medical expenses, the excellent doctors, and the supplies. I can't complain about that, but I can't deny that it was very draining.

Over the weekend, I felt terrible because I suffer from very sharp pains (endometriosis). I hadn't suffered from this condition for a few months, and I thought the disease had disappeared. But no, there it was again, those pains that keep me awake at night and seem stronger than ever.

Feeling those pains again, that struggle, stirred up negative emotions: anger, hopelessness, bitterness, sadness, complaints. Everything around me felt clouded.

The pains subsided, yes, even so, I still had that negative feeling, but despite everything, I mustered the strength to tidy and clean my home. One of the things that relaxes me most is having everything in its place and my house smelling clean and fresh.

The day after tidying everything up, I took some time to relax. My husband had made coffee and had to go out, so I sat down in a very comfortable chair that my dear, kind neighbors had given me. I looked out the window with my cup of coffee in my hand. The best part was the view I could see. Oh my God! What beautiful colors! The sun was setting, with those gorgeous orange hues, the sky a soft blue, and the sea—yes, the sea, so majestic and calm. At that moment, I could only thank God for showing me such beauty. Then I snapped out of it again and told myself, "Oh yes, the glass is half full!"

Yes, even amidst so many struggles and afflictions, there are also many, many things to live for—to live with hope, to live with passion, to live with gratitude.

The struggles and afflictions are still there, but it definitely depends on us how we face each challenge that life puts in our path. Complaining and being angry might be good for letting off steam for a moment, but living in complaint and bitterness brings nothing good; it only limits us and blinds us to the many beautiful things that life offers us every day.
