Today's Joy: Looking at my high school yearbook this morning and smiling. It is funny how I thought I changed so much into this adult that now exists. Flipping through the pages and reading the responses really made me know that I had the makings. You could see the foundations of this woman we call Believe51. One of the interesting things I read over and over in all replies was that my smile and positive attiude was so powerful and important to them....that this would get me by any dark days. My life has never been an easy one but I see now that attitude is everything for me and that I have lived through some very dark days. I am glad to be me and to have been able to see this much life. I wish to live to be an old bitty.>>Believe51
