I need this today.  Maybe you do too.

Around 1987 I was still battling my first major bout of depression. It lasted off and on for quite a few years. For some reason I was still capable of reading during this time. I read mostly horror type fiction. One book I read was called Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz.  There was a paragraph in that book that jumped out at me.  It not only jumped out at me, it took hold of me and never really let me go.  For this I will be forever grateful to Mr. Koontz.

It was Koontz’ description of hope.  It was exactly what I needed to read at that time.  This paragraph was so important to me that I wrote it down in every journal I had ever possessed since first reading it. In the last 30 years, I have reread this paragraph again and again. It has saved me…
