I’m going to be very honest. It sounds egocentric. The first person who comes to mind is me. At 50 years old, I see myself in the best moment of my life. With ups and downs, my life has been successful so far. My family and I have our health. We have work and a place to sleep at night. We have food on our table three times a day. We go to bed each night without worries or fear. We are blessed with each new day, and the path ahead appears clear and unobstructed. I speak in the plural because my success is also my family’s success. Is there a greater definition of success than that?

Life can take us through situations where everything can change in an instant. We’ve been through that in the past. Our faith is strong. So is our decision to be happy.
