"When your life feels like you're on a sailboat, with no wind to fill your sails, there are still choices. You can drop anchor and enjoy your surroundings. Start your motor, if you have one.

"No one ever said your life would be easy. The nature of being human makes life for all of us a challenge. The most important thing to consider here is this.

To learn that lesson and build the strength and courage to face other challenges…."

So, embrace the challenges and learn to grow together, not apart…."
