You are so right GB, a good life is largely a matter of looking at the world as one of possibility rather than one of limitation. We can sometimes get bogged down in our losses and disappointments and stop seeing possibility. Who knows what lies down the road but it usually turns out in whatever way we frame it. Enjoy whatever travel adventure you're off to now GB.
Btw, just to add: Romans 12:12 reads "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" Wise words to all!
