You must try to see the nice things around you now. You cannot wait until life slows down, or you feel better, or you are cured or free or whatever to accept the good gifts God gives you. You can’t. This is nonnegotiable. In my experience, with few exceptions, life doesn’t slow down, and some things don’t “get better.” You either choose to receive the beauty and wonder of this life in the midst of chaos and distress or you never will.25
