Come and join me on a journey back to virtues. This book was meant to be read as a reminder of the importance of practicing good characteristic traits. Along with virtue definitions are my personal views on the value of living a life with moral virtues. Throughout this book, I hope to present you with questions to seek answers for, guidelines for obtaining good characteristic traits, and suggestions for motivating your spirit to hunger for good choices. After reading each chapter, stop and reflect on your understanding or struggles felt from experiencing this virtue. My hope is after we accept faith we will begin to feel graces through God's mercy, patience, and forgiveness. Prior to each chapter, I begin with a poem depicting the meaning of virtue. Poetry is painting the scenery with words. Let us all strive to love, anticipate with hope, believe in faith. Enjoy your read! -Catherine Basten-
