Words I Am Living By At The Moment.......................

"Courage is nothing more than taking one step more than you think you can." - Holly Lisle

"
Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Fall seven times, stand up eight. - Japanese Proverb

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teresa

If you are going through hell, keep going. - Winston Churchill

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher

Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway. ~John Wayne

You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. ~Mary Manin Morrissey

Jennifer...

I find that when I get a little overwhelmed by everything that is being thrown at me I just make it a point to get up early and watch a sunrise, or go on a walk and watch the wind blow through leaves....or watch a sunset, or maybe walk at night and enjoy the stars and moon...

It makes me realize that there is a natural ebb and flow to life and that whatever troubles I maybe having are just as natural as the ebb and flow that I am witnessing...

Believe in yourself...

I've got a couple more words to live by. At least they work for me:

It could be worse, you could be selling shoes. (inspired by Married, With Children)

and...

Do, or do not. There is no try - Yoda, SW, Ep V.

I'll come up with some more quirky inspiration if you want. As long as it keeps you going. :)

Thank you TAO, sounds like a good idea. We have a park nearby where you can "hike" through the woods and it always leaves me with a peaceful feeling. Thank you for your comforting words.

Patrick.....You're right, I could be selling shoes! :-)

I love quirky inspiration, by the way!

As my dear Italian Nonna would say:

Fa corragio! [Translation: Have courage!]
