During bad times, how do you help people see the good?

She is such an inspiring person. She seems to show people the good in life when they have been hit with one of the worse parts of life. And she seems to do this by being there. I think that makes a big difference when people are having a hard time seeing the good in the world; just being physically present, so they have some connection to something other than everything that is bad in their world.

It's unfortunate that more businesses such as this one don't exist anymore. I yearn for a bygone era when you trusted the person you were doing business with and when they passed away you would start doing business with one of their children and then your child would do business with that person when they came of age.

What an inspiring message, to see someone help you try to see the good in bad times. It is very hard and tough to do, but it's necessary to keep moving forward. Great video!
