I will follow the upward road today; I will keep my face to the light. I will think high thoughts as I go my way; I will do what I know is right. I will look for the flowers by the side of the road; I will laugh and love and be strong. I will try to lighten another’s load this day as I fare along. —Mary S. Edgar

Hurt people, hurt people. That's how pain patterns get passed on, generation after generation after generation. Break the chain today.
