Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.-- Albert Camus

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. ~Earl Nightingale

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. ~Anne Lamott

Dont let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy ~ The Eagles
