I’m a “The Glass is Half Full” person. Always have been.

Like most of you, I’ve had my share of difficulties, from losing loved ones to painful ends to relationships to financial uncertainty. And now, add the COVID-19 pandemic to that list. Despite these challenging times, I work to focus on the good that inevitably arises from a bad situation.

Why must we undergo difficult times? The reasons may differ from one person to another. Passages in the Torah and the Bible speak to the belief that The heart of man plans his way, but God establishes his steps.
