Broken Windows: Going on...

» Olivia32 - Going on...

Your courageous response reminded me of visit I made to a business associate a few weeks after a hurricane devastated our city.

He told me how the storm had demolished his office and business records, literally washed away his house to the foundations, and left his car hanging in an oak tree...

And he smiled while he told me all about it.

I asked, how can you smile while you tell me that everything you own is gone?

He replied: "I can frown and stay down in the gutter and cry, or I can get up from the gutter and smile at the opportunities to do better this has given me."

Regina, being robbed and your home violated is not a trifling matter, but I sense you are smiling and will go on to more and better things...
