"I think that dreams are funny things. We can certainly, I believe, be
folks for whom all of our dreams come true. But life is the wind, we
are captains, and dreams are sails. Sometimes we must respond to the
wind by lowering one sail and raising another one. It does us no good to
sit stubbornly with the wrong sail raised and wish the wind were
different. We’ll be dead in the water. So for now, I’ve responded to
life’s wind and raised a new dream sail.
"My dream these days is that one day I will look back on this
excruciating time and feel proud of how I handled it. That’s my dream
today. I want to be proud of myself, proud of us. Proud of how we battened down the hatches and protected each other from the howling wind."
