Transitions

By Shelby Peck

Let's be honest, no one wants to begin on a sad note. Period. But that's where I want to begin, and just as importantly, it's where my memory begins. In anything in life you can only truly appreciate the good things when you get over the bad. It makes them that much sweeter and I believe that the deepest rock bottom you can hit is death, that the deepest rock bottom you can hit is death, that is the end. So as long as you're still alive and can enjoy the music, the taste, and the feelings all around you, there is always hope. It is always harder to pick up the pieces then walk on, but you can. There's always someone off worse than you, and they beat it- it is not impossible. But seeing the glass half-full is a journey in itself, not the destination.

Shelby Peck

My name is Shelby Peck, I grew up in the northern town of Fort St. John BC with my mother, father, and two brothers. I left home at 17 to pursue higher education and ended up in Kamloops where I happily live as of this printing. Kamloops is a diverse interesting city with a small town feel, so I never really abandoned the notion of a close knit community. I have dreams of travelling and seeing the world. As my modest contribution to the writing community I hope you enjoyed the book.
