Oysters

I heard something good the other day.

When an oyster makes a pearl, it is because something irritating gets stuck in its belly. Making the pearl must be really painful for the oyster, but it keeps working to overcome the pain. Over time, the painful thing becomes the core for a beautiful pearl. People should be like that, too. We should take all of our hardships and turn them into pearls.

Really kind of depressed today... anyone have any cheerful stories they'd like to share?
