I have a terrible memory, so I put thoughts and whatnot here, when I remember. This blog is an effort to help us remember a little clearer, so we can "try a little harder, to be a little better" together. And I LOVE comments, so comment away, share your perspective.

If you are one of the ones walking, keep going. If you are among the latter, do something truly terrifying for yourself. Choose one road, any road, and start running. Run full speed and do not stop. Do not look back. Do not worry that you have made a wrong choice. The future will seem uncertain. It will seem unsafe. But you have to keep running. You must run until turning back is impossible. Only then will you see the beauty that sits on the horizon." Single Dad Laughing- http://www.danoah.com/2011/02/thousand-roads-through-hell.html
