Sometimes we try to take on more than we can handle, and we fall short. That doesn't mean we quit,or that we haven't gotten better. We take stock, learn, and keep going. It's not as complicated as we try to make it. We just have to accept that it isn't going to happen overnight, but know that it will happen, and then it gets a little easier. Hugs, Magic
