Raking up lifeless brown stalks in the frost ~ filled
garden, I can't help but see images of marigolds, hot~ yellow peppers, and jade~ green zucchini;
I smile, knowing that spring will soon be here.
Do not look at how difficult the road ahead looks ~
How high the pitch of the mountain, how hot the desert sun, how distant the place of rest. You can not see every part of the path, and unseen gifts are ahead along the way .Believe.

Don't Quit
by Edgar Albert Guest
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit - rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup; and he learned too late when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - the silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and when you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar; so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - it's when things seem worst, you must not quit.
Stay Strong Soar like a Eagle Keep Going Love and Blessings
