Standing in front of the plaque, I felt a little like a child who, when
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass," the plaque said," It's about learning to
How often in our daily lives have we put on our happiness? When we get the house,then we can be happy. When things down with the kids, then we'll be able to do more together.There is so
Looking at the plaque, I found myself unknowingly live the plaque's message. Ioff my shoes and stockings in a light and began walking through the water. Maybe my neighbors thought that I had lost my wisdom, but I don't care. For in that moment, I was alive. I wasn't worried about bills, the future or any other day-to-day cares.
