All the world's a stage, and we are merely players.

 I have used this quote before because I really like it. Every one of us puts on a smiling face for the most part to mask the trials and tragedies in all our lives. 
 "How are you?" "Couldn't be better!" We hear phrases like that almost daily and take part in the same. It is pointless to go into detail about the things that could turn you inside out if you let them. We must go on with our best faces forward into the new year praying for the best and enjoying the blessings we are to be allowed in 2016.
 There will be happy days and times of gut wrenching losses but most of us will see 2017, a year older and ready to take what is in the offing. We all must do the best we can and try to make life a little better for others, realizing we are all on this journey together.
 I wish the best for all of you, my friends. Let's stay strong and weather the storms together.
