> Let me tell you about life. It is made up of good stuff and bad stuff. The good stuff will include graduations, marriages, births, dreams fulfilled,

Don't waste too much time thinking, but if you must, think about the good stuff. When the bad stuff happens, work at getting over it. Life is too short to waste on being sad. (An updated version of an essay that I wrote in the 6th grade. The teacher had tears in her eyes, but I still don't know if she was laughing or crying.)

I like that, Howard. I really needed that about now. Thank you. :-}
