Take one thing with another, and the world is a pretty good sort of a world, and it is our duty to make the best of it, and be thankful.
As I swept the last bit of dust, I made a covenant with myself: I will accept. Whatever will be, will be. I have a life to lead. I recalled words a friend had told me, the philosophy of her faith. "Life is a journey and a struggle," she had said. "We cannot control it, but we can make the best of any situation." I was indeed in quite a situation. It was up to me to make the best of it.

We are beginning to realize that the power rests in us, that we can choose to create our life the way we want it to be.
