One of my Facebook friends always seems to have the woes of the world on their shoulders and it's not only sad to see but also off-putting. My daughter's gramma-in-law just passed away at 93 and that woman was a smiling wonder. At 93 you can bet she had physical ailments and tragedies at times in her life but she radiated happiness and enthusiasm and, partly because of that, she was a joy to be around. My own mother-in-law was like that, too.
Everyone suffers through bad events regularly throughout their lives but, if it's that way daily, then it just might have something to do with your attitude. The way you respond and deal with those bad days says a lot about you. If you're weak you'll let it diminish you but if you have just a little backbone you'll survive and flourish from the experience.
People like Lela and Ferne are inspiring to everyone around them. We all struggle through life but the best way to win the fight is to have a positive attitude and then nothing can really defeat us. I love my daughter, Kim's, favorite saying..."Live, Love, Laugh". How could you fail with that kind of attitude?
