"If you're going through hell, keep on going" - Winston Churchill "...And this too shall pass" -- last line of a well known prayer "...and help me to accept the things I can not change". -- A line from The Serenity Prayer. I think this would be a good thread to keep going. I know others have sayings that keep them going and hope you all will give to others by posting quotes, thoughts, whatever keeps you in the saddle. These are mine. Gretchen

I am going through a trying and angry period of my life right now. This quote seems to mirror how I am feeling. The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. -- M. Scott Peck Gretchen
