I heard one time that life is like a coin. We can spend it any way we want, but we can spend it only once.

If life is like a coin, it must, like a coin, have two sides. How could it have two sides? Well, the answer is that life has many sides. It has a good side and a bad side. It has an easy side and a hard side. It has a happy side and a sad side. Of course, the list is practically endless. The point is that it’s our privilege, our opportunity, and our responsibility to use wisely each day the gift that we have been given.
