    Thank you for link­ing to this. I need­ed this today.…

    My fav quote came around 8:15 — “There are times in life where you will be tossed down the well too with twists in your stom­ach and holes in your heart…and when that bad news wash­es over you and the pain sponges and soaks in, … you always have two choic­es — One: you can twirl and swirl in gloom and doom for­ev­er or two: you can grieve and then face the future with new­ly sober eyes.”

    That absolute­ly summed up my atti­tude for the two years after my nasty divorce.

    We can nev­er be remind­ed enough of how impor­tant it is to appre­ci­ate the sim­ple things. We all have such a short time on earth but can spend too much time on things that do not mat­ter. Thanks for the insight and the easy steps for liv­ing a grat­i­fy­ing life.
