I keep a little book beside my bed, entitled "Bearing Up" - with verse and quotes that will lighten the cares of the day and described as: "A little book with little bears, bearing sound words about life's cares. With good advice that is quite shareable, to make every day happily bearable" I often flick through it when I cannot sleep. Here are a verse and a quote from my little book: "Sharing" We share our happiness with each other - and it becomes greater. We share our troubles with each other - and they become smaller. We share one another's griefs and burdens - and their weight becomes possible to bear. "A Difficult Journey" To know that others have walked a similar road may not make the difficulties of the journey easier, but should give us hope.
