How often do I just pretend?
That time will let my failures mend
That what consumes inside my head
Will finally rest and leave my bed

For though I dream not of mistakes
I often think where life it takes
And why it’s me that holds the load
And wanders off the better road

But I have something deep within
To help my everyday begin
A hope which brings tomorrow new
And faith that always gets me through

Ah yes...the trials of life...you have been in the fullers fire but by having so been through so much a diamond of the finest quality will be the result...keep your faith close and remember He never said it would be easy...He just said it would be worth it...

Rick, I would be absolutely and
totally lost without hope and faith!!
I think we all would be?

With that fully ingrained, it never really
matters how often, or not.  Well done, Rick.

Yes, yes.  I have a friend who says you can live 30 days without food, 3 days without water, 30 seconds without breath and 3 seconds without hope.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
