I’ve been better and better at this, the longer I’ve been on the road. I see that a lot of the things that come to me are not chance, but simply manifested by my love and appreciation for life. When hard times knock, I’ve gotten very good at sitting back, looking at what’s presented, and learning from it. Seeing the lessons in everything. I am not perfect, and don’t always succeed at seeing the best, but Once Upon A Time, I didn’t even know this was a possiblity. I’m very grateful for being turned on to it.

“However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society.”

Henry David Thoreau
