I've come to realize that the hard times in life are blessings. They don't feel like blessings though 
. Honestly it was going through the hard moments that allowed me to relate with people and make friends or rekindle relationships with family. The hard times brought me back to God. And as they passed I was left with more wisdom and understanding than before they came. This left me time and time again with a greater ability to walk through life with gratitude unwavering. In the end isn't an unshakable attitude of gratitude the goal? Someone who masters gratitude is the richest someone in the world.

Wow David that was so beautiful. I feel the same way. Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate the personal touch of spirit rather than excerpts from a book. I connect with this and others will too. Gosh I love this so much 
Have a splendid day

They are both. Their trials because you are being refined. Their curses because you are yet to be refined. Just whatever you do. Do not drink over them.
