博客來I grew up in the aftermath of the great depression in the rural area of north Florida. God blessed me with loving parents that instilled in me the values of honesty and kindness to others. They both came from large families that were survivors of the depression. It was their examples of pride, hard work, and ability to find a way to get the job done that got me through my difficulties in life. God blessed me with the opportunities I needed, and my parents gave me the wisdom to use them. It was those wonderful people who helped me along the way that inspired me to write this book about my life.
When we grow old, we discover that good memories and old friends are our most valuable assets. They have a lot in common, they will be there to pick you up when you’re down. That warm happy feeling you get from seeing, hearing from, or thinking about an old friend comes from the memories you have created together. The way your old friend’s smile would light up the room he was in, a good memory will warm up your heart. Good memories should always make you feel better, and I like to think of them as successful. That is why I like to caress and enjoy them.
Bad memories will try to pull you down and I liked to think of them as unsuccessful and they should be avoided. Things that you consider unsuccessful, you try to forget.
