This week, I received an incredible gift from a friend. She shared with me a poem in an email, and in the subject line: "So you." The thought behind her message brought tears to my eyes, and gave me the gift of inspiration that I wanted to pass on...
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.
Whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
Who strives valiantly,
Who errs and comes short again and again
Because there is no effort without errors and shortcomings,
Who knows great devotion,
Who spends himself in a worthy cause,
Who at his best knows in the end the high acheivement of triumph
And who at worst,
If he fails daring greatly
Knows his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
Who know neither victory or defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

Kristie, with you as my nurse, you taught ME how to do it. I see good things coming for everyone because of who you are.
