Life's Most Precious Ingredients

Courage, patience, focus and effort are the four most important ingredients that has helped shape my life. It took 10 years of effort to get my son into a good place. Of course he did most of the work. When he was seriously ill, I do not know from where the courage came to me to continue to keep a positive outlook. There have been so many times that I have lost focus, and now, have learnt to not lose it.

I wish we all could learn about these four key ingredients early on, but they come from experience and no one can give them to us, except life. Life is precious, and this Thanksgiving was particularly precious.
