This is what I, too, have been aiming to do with my life. Some things are so trivial and people sweat the small stuff... I am an offender of that, too. My aunt even got me a book titled "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" for Xmas a few years back. Nothing like a hint, right? Ha. Goosebumps!

Nevertheless, this reiterates my belief that within each ending in life there is always a beginning. @Deepa Agrawal, Thanks Deepa.. it’s sad that the loss of someone usually sparks this kind of change.
