Quote(s) of the Day

It's only Wednesday, but this has been one of the roughest, most trying weeks I can ever recall. My stress level is at an all-time high (matched only by my last semester in grad school when I wasn't sure I'd pass my final class) and I've cried more times than I care to recall.

It ain't looking good for the kid.

So since there's no one here to pat me on the back and "woo woo woo" me, I have to encourage myself. Or let the words of others do it for me:

Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes. Keep hope alive. Don't you surrender! Suffering breeds character, character breeds faith. In the end faith will not disappoint.
- Jesse Jackson

You are on the eve of a complete victory. You can't go wrong. The world is behind you.
- Josephine Baker

Thanks Jesse. Thanks Josephine. Y'all don't know how much I needed that.
