Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

- Helen Keller

On this Wednesday I feel stretched in every direction.  At the same time, the stretching gives way to clarity.  As my life busies I’m also slowly meeting my goals.  So while it’s at times painful to get through the stretch… I’m trying to enjoy this sensation.

“The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.”

-Oliver Wendell Holmes

Time for a quick moment of honesty.  It’s mid-week and I find myself overwhelmed and spinning.  It already feels good to admit that.  I’m going to stay focused on the direction I’m moving in and hopefully get rid of the spins!
