The Kindness in a Ring

"I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory!  I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true."
Audrey Hepburn

Several years ago when I was going through a difficult time, a friend gave me a silver ring that had four words inscribed inside, "This too shall pass."  She had had one made for herself some time before and has since given them to her friends as needed. 

The other day, I felt momentarily overwhelmed and reassured myself with those four words.  I remembered my friend's kindness in giving me the ring and appreciated her thoughtfulness again.  And then I laughed to myself because I could not remember what difficulty I had been facing when my friend gave me the ring.
