People ask me on a daily basis because they say I'm always smiling: “How are you so happy?!”  The answer is I HAVE NO IDEA! I mean..I definitely feel like I've had a pretty blessed life. Sure: just like everyone else, I have ups and the downs... situations and other people can be crappy and make you want to be down on yourself, but I've been blessed with an optimistic outlook.  It definitely sucks sometimes because you can get let down or people will try to take advantage of your positive outlook. But overall, I believe it's worth it!  I'd rather think the best of others and have them let me down than the other extreme of believing everyone is out to get you and everyone is bad and living a sour and negative life.  I guess overall: I’m just THANKFUL!
