It is also for those with "good lives." And those who struggle. This book is for you. This is a book about the ups and downs of my life and how I made it through it all. For the most part Keeping a positive attitude was the reason I was able to cope. I mean keeping the main three words in your mind; I can, I will, I am. Put these words in front of anything you're trying to do. Ex: I will beat this cancer. We've all had great times in our lives and rough times. During the rough times I added God to my positive words. I've experienced enough downs that it kept bringing me closer to God through his word. I would read verses in the Bible that helped me through whatever tragedy I was dealing with. The only. This is a book of Hope. I would look at pictures of my children and grandchildren to remind me to continue going. I would go to California to visit my grandchildren and went to the beach a lot. I would watch and stare at the waves rolling in and out. Some waves were huge and lasted long and others were shorter and crumbled quickly. The waves would remind me of my life. Sometimes my life was up and stable for a long time. These were the good times. The next time short and messy or crumbly which reminded me of the rough times. Although it may seem like everything around me was bad, it wasn't. I would like you to know by keeping a positive attitude and never giving up you can survive anything. Remember every day you wake up it is a chance to Ride the Waves of God. Joyce Creighton is a senior Christian woman who grew up in the Midwest state of Illinois.
