I am responsible.

[Antonio_Montolio]

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
