Great show! Like the blue bird analogy…
Winston Churchill said that when you are going through Hell, keep going. My Mom, after a lifetime of living and seeing her loved ones pass, two husbands, even a son, had a wise reflection. I asked her what do you do when life hands you tragedies? She said keep going, keep living.
absolutely, yeah, Winston Churchill was amazing…. I would encourage anyone who is having a bad day to watch in succession: Dunkirk and then The Darkest Hour…. that is where I got his quote.
