Dear diary

You are a star today, feeling happy and content. You all know how it might feel, how it feels to have health problems and to be weak and weary. You are thinking about getting old. You think about your friends and family and life through the good times and the bad. Perhaps you smile, because if nothing else, it was a fun trip. Then you start to think about what you have to be thankful for: family, travel, learning, meeting people. These are all parts of life that carry you through difficult times. Your faith is part of carrying you through difficult times. You should never doubt yourself. And you will always be a star.
