You’ve Got Greatness In You

A Simple Belief to Take to Heart  By Floyd Wickman I was re-reading my book, Letters to Linda this week. Sappy-right?  Well, yeah – but it’s still February and she’s truly been an amazing blessing to me and the love of my life.  So I’ll own up to that kind of sappy any day.  (Wouldn’t you?)  One of the stories towards the end of the book where the character Josh says goodbye and the line “You’ve got greatness in you.  Don’t ever forget it,” almost jumped off the page at me.  I was reminded of how very important it is
