When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that
we do not see the one which has been opened for us. -- Helen Keller
A WORLD WITHOUT GOD? (Commentary by Toney Atkins)

Don't wait for happiness and joy to come to you. Let them come from you. Spread joy and you
will know joy. ... This is a great day to be alive. So be alive with joy and make it even better. -- Copyright

Opinion, Commentary:
REMEMBERING A MOTHER (By Toney Atkins)
*********************
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge,
meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life
is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it!
-- Mother Teresa
