  • Eleanor Roosevelt

    This fall, I have a cousin, a niece, and a nephew starting their lives away from their parents.  I have another cousin who is breaking away from the nest, and for that, I'm really proud of him.  Something changes once one leaves home.  One either discovers the strength and courage to do what one wants to do.  Or one is beaten into submission by the real world.  I pray that all of my relatives and friends who are leaving the nest will find that they do indeed have wings.


    "You
    gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you
    really stop to look fear in the face... The danger lies in refusing to
    face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it... You must make
    yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot
    do."
    		  
    - Eleanor Roosevelt

    Thanks for the quote, RaymondLY.
