STOP AND THINK – There’s a crack in everything—that’s how the light gets in. (Leonard Cohen, Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, and novelist)

It’s the old pessimist-optimist quandary. Some people see the crack and think of damage. Others find some hope and help in the same break. For the optimist every circumstance in life provides an opportunity to see and do good. Certainly, that’s the preferred outlook if you want to live happily.

You were taught . . . to be made new in the attitude of your minds. (Ephesians 4:22-24)
