I’m sitting at a table at my nearby branch library. A college-aged male and female student sit at the other end of the table working on math problems and flirting. I think they’re better at flirting than they are at working through their math problems. I’ve always enjoyed coming to the library. My mom took me to the library when I was in second grade and made sure I had a library card. Thanks, Mom. Because of that card, I became an avid reader and realized that the library held adventures for me and my right brained mind that school could never offer to me. Try visiting your library. They’re not the library of my childhood. They’ve kept up with changing times. Libraries will always be relevant to intellectually curious people.

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).
