from my friend

my friend sent me a poem.... Life is our teacher, teaching us with good experiences and with painful ones. The painful days are difficult to understand, but it is from these trouble times that we learn how to be strong. We learn to hold on and face each day, even though we hurt and feel frustrated. We learn that the simplest pleasures are often the most rewarding. And we learn that losing is often only another step toward winning. And when life turns it's smiling side to us again, as it always does, we find ourselves stronger. With a greater knowledge of ourselves, and able to feel the welcome comfort of good times more deeply than before. Thanks Erica!
