Trying to see the beauty and goodness in everything, hard as that may be to find some of the time.

My greatest fear is that when all is said and done, and we are greeted in the great beyond, we'll be told that honesty and kindness was a waste of time, and we should've done unto others as much as we could, and got us some along the way, since we only get one shot at life.

Still, I consider myself a reluctant optimist, and a hopeful romantic.
