Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. 
Oh my god…thank you so much for this! I really needed this, because this pertains to my life so much…I had forgotten what that smile really meant 🙂 I had forgotten that happiness can be there even through tough times
You’re most welcome! I need that reminder sometimes too – that happiness never leaves, it just ebbs and flows.
