a life filled with happiness

Life is like a big balloon. Every time something good happens, you let a little air out. Every time something bad happens, you blow it up a little bigger. Your balloon will never wear out, and your balloon will never pop, because life is up and downs. It's not just one straight line of happiness, or one straight line of sadness. It's all over the place.
Sometimes our lives are as colorful as this picture, sometimes our lives are like a black and white picture of rain. But, all I know is that, my life? It's wonderful. It's amazing, and I love it, and I never want it to go. I want to savor this life that God gave me. I want to live for Him, and make my life be the best. I want to live as a girl who encourages people, loves people, serves people, and most importantly lives it all for Jesus.
I want my life to be full of smiles, and laughter. Not frowns and sadness. I want to enjoy my life. So guess what? I'm going to. No more sad, grumpy Ali. More of a happy, cheerful Ali.
Okay, friends. Do you want to do this with me? Live the most of the life we have, and be cheerful and happy? Who wants to continue to let air go out of our balloons, and be free of stress? I surely do.

What is your life filled with?
