Good morning all. Thanks for the well wishes. We leave bright and early tomorrow morning. Today is a half day of work followed by lawn mowing and then packing.
Today's quote ... which will be the last for over a week ...
"You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you had to overcome to reach your goals." - Booker T. Washington
To this I might add ... "and most people will never know the sum of the obstacles you had to overcome."
Most people will only see the outward accomplishment ... which in our case is sobriety. They will never completely understand the obstacles encountered on the journey. Rather than that being a discouragement, it gives us a quiet confidence. We are, indeed, more powerful than we ever imagined. We have wrestled with demons and have emerged victorious.
Carry on, Tobers!
