Making a Comeback

It seems like every week either an actor, athlete or politician is making a comeback in some form or another. Whether it's from heal to hero, or from fame to obscurity and back to fame again, the public can't seem to get enough of a good comeback tale.

What people don't seem to realize, though, is that comebacks aren't just limited to people in the spotlight. Average folks make them too. And they do it all the time.

They do it in their jobs when they make a huge mistake one month and years later are given a sign of confidence with either a raise or promotion.

They do it in their families when selfish acts or words create distance between parents or siblings and an act of kindness or family tragedy replaces those feelings with forgiveness.

They do it in life when they strike out in love, work or play and then later come back with a home run.

Making comebacks is part of the human spirit and is an inner force within all of us in this unpredictable world of life.
