Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.~ Walter Anderson
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.~ Joseph Campbell
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.~ Khalil Gibran
