I can recall the first steps of my children. They took their first steps with courage, staggered a bit, wobbled and dropped to the floor. They crawled to the coffee table, pulled themselves up and started again. Babies have a wonderful lesson for adults. When life knocks us down, get up, take the first step, even if it is a bit wobbly, and set out again. When we choose to stay on the floor, it’s all over. Life asks us to get up and take the first step in faith knowing that a second and third step will follow.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
