Loss, of a business, a loved one, a home, a best friend impacted the very fabric of what life meant to me on a personal level.
By focusing on great memories, activities, habits and events made life ... bearable.
And eventually it's like this phrase I once read in an old book:
"Each soul slumbers a little while
On this shadowy side of the stream
And waking remembers life with a smile
As a tale once told in a dream"
Remember your dream ... and smile :)
