Life can get tough at times. There are so many varied circumstances in all our lives. The longer I live, the more I am realizing, it's not the circumstances but our attitude toward the circumstances that makes us or breaks us.
With a winter snow storm predicted for our area, I've listened to all the comments. There are those dreading it, worried about the outcome. Then there are those planning all the (Savannah, our own family angel) activities they will have fun doing. Of course there are precautions we have to consider. But what about the beauty, the fun, the memories?
So it is with life. The bad days will come. That's life So if we don't enjoy the good days, we have nothing to eagerly anticipate. Savannah is making the most of "the rough days". What a smile! How soon we forget the exhilearting laughter of childhood and the giggling that was so much fun. We're become involved with life interludes that tests us.
The stories below tell of testings in my life. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I miss my goals. But all the while I am learning. These experiences make up who I am today, as it is
in your life. As you read, my hope is that you will discover things about yourself that will help guide you in those defining moments of life.
