“Sometimes life can really suck. It’s not all unicorns and rainbows and it’s not filled with organic, gluten-free cookies that also happen to be sugar-free, vegan, and delicious.

There are major detours and potholes – such as death, disease, and backbreaking financial hardship – that can be debilitating. But no matter how hard things are, we must believe that our situation can get better. And most of the time things aren’t even all that bad; we’re just wound so tight that we can’t find the humor in some of the potholes.”
