RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR!

Resolutions are wishes

 we make to ourselves;

 promises to keep,

 in order to attain a higher level 

of happiness and fulfillment

 in our lives.

~Kim Franklin-Magana

Perseverance!

“Determine that the thing can and shall be done,

 and then we shall find the way.” 

~Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

A Life in Brief

When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, seven slave states left the Union to form the Confederate States of America, and four more joined when hostilities began between the North and South. A bloody civil war then engulfed the nation as Lincoln vowed to preserve the Union, enforce the laws of the United States, and end the secession.

Small attempts!

I know that small attempts repeated, 
will complete any undertaking.

"Each indecision brings it's own delays 
and days are lost lamenting over lost days...
What you can do or think you can do, begin it. 
 For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it"

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
