Victories in life come through our ability to work around and over the obstacles that cross our path. We grow stronger as we climb our own mountains.

Good cheer is a state of mind or mood that promotes happiness or joy... With God’s help, good cheer permits us to rise above the depressing present or difficult circumstances. It is a process of positive reassurance and reinforcement. It is sunshine when clouds block the light.
