The point is, everyone has days or weeks or months that don't go well. Years even sometimes. But usually, dwelling on the sadness and frustration never does any good.

So instead I want to share a few things that always seem to bring a smile to my face lately...
E-mails from my stepdad. All the way from Afghanistan.
