Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening,
I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life.
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 quotes
