Positive Thought of the Day ~ Embrace the Challenges
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” Joseph Campbell
NOTE: I was out of town this past week. I took an early morning walk. A woman, walking in front of me, wore a t-shirt with the following message printed on the back of her shirt: “If it’s not challenging, you’re not changing.” Wow, there is truth in that statement. Easy may be nice, but it doesn’t give us the opportunities to grow, to discover the stuff we’re made of. Embrace the challenges. You’ll discover your stronger and tougher than any challenge that comes your way.

Poem of the Day ~ Promise
Promise
Georgia Douglas Johnson
Through the moil and the gloom they have issued
To the steps of the upwinding hill,
Where the sweet, dulcet pipes of tomorrow
In their preluding rhapsodies trill.
With a thud comes a stir in the bosom,
As there steals on the sight from afar,
Through a break of a cloud’s coiling shadow
The gleam of a bright morning star!
