It ain't about how hard you hit...It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving, forward...how much you can take, and keep moving forward.  That's how winning is done.  Now if you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth.  But you gotta be willing to take the hits.  An not pointing fingers saying:  you ain't what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody.  Cowards do that and that ain't you!  You're better than that!  ~ Rocky Balboa

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner.  I believe in kissing; kissing a lot.  I believe in being strong when everything is going wrong.  I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles."


— Audrey Hepburn

"Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practices and the coaches who have pushed you...is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back...Play for her."

While looking for quotes to put up in the Cartwright Hall today, I came across this quote and loved it.  It isn't necessarily fitting for anything right now, but there will be a time where I'll think of it and want it and it will be here for me when I need it.

Always Remember...

"Just think, you're here not by chance, but by God's choosing.  His hand formed you and made you the person you are.  He compares you to no one else -- you are one of a kind.  You lack nothing that His grace can't give you.  He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation."  Roy Lessin

My google reader was filled with quotes about happiness today.  Is it national happiness day and I don't know it?

Always remember...“happiness is not a science, an art, or an outcome. it can’t be quantified, procured, or consumed. it’s not invented but comes naturally… it’s what we are when we are utterly ourselves in unaffected ease.” ~ karen maezen miller

Always remember....

"The purpose of the task is to strengthen the relationship." 

From Becky Higgins from her FACS professor. 

No matter what relationship you have with someone (whether it be your husband or wife, parent, child, student, boss, best friend, acquaintance, or coworker), always remember to strengthen the relationship.
