There are many sad things currently going on in this country and around the world. Federal workers are struggling daily to protect their jobs and the people they help. People in places around the world are fighting for freedom from corruption. Children around the world go to bed hungry. Seniors in this country are struggling to survive. US education is struggling to keep up with other countries, putting our children at a disadvantage in the world order.

You may only be a small grain of sand on a large beach, but you have the power to be a light in the darkness. Speak truth, challenge lies, and take advantage of teachable moments. Knowledge is power. It has changed the past and will have a profound effect on the future. It’s all part of being happy, for life.
