Quote of the day

"The Ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challange and controversy." -Martin Luther King Jr.


Sparkpeople translation: "When problems come up, how do you react? Do you look for blame, or do shoulder what you can and try to repair it? Do you throw up your hands and look for an easier way, or do you learn, adapt and keep pushing? There’s a lot of talk nowadays about ‘personal responsibility’. That’s great. But it’s usually brought up only in finding fault. To show ‘responsibility’ is to own up to your role in the problem’s cause. We don’t often hear about the other side of responsibility – that is, an obligation to be part of the solution. Even when a hardship is not your fault at all, you can – and should – do what you can to fix it. Your skills and abilities create an obligation that only your character can fulfill."

And by the way-I am taking it that I am not the only one who has a love/hate relationship with the time difference. My goodness, on Sunday I hardly felt its effects BUT this week has been awful for us to wake up. I hate waking up and it's SUPER dark outside. I feel like I have to jump back into bed. I love that spring is coming and that summer is getting closer. Meaning beach/pool days and summer vacations! So I guess I am just going to have to adapt because this is my favorite time of year.
