As we remember the horror of 09/11/2001, and give tribute to the victims and heroes of that day, let's keep this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt in mind, "You gain strength,courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."

I have been thinking about heroes. I volunteer at Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center, we had our first class of summer session today. I am so humbled by the riders. These 4 adults, all with some kind of significant physical issues, get on top giant animals and ride every week, doing things that would be hard for most of us. My rider J, had a rough day, the heat was wicked on him and he felt very weak, almost being unable to stand after dismounting, but he did, and he will again next week. That is what defines a hero for me, someone who faced with something difficult, doesn't let it whip them, who keeps a snse of humor and keeps on.

Tell me about your heroes...

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one, which has been opened for us.” Helen Keller

Helen Keller is such an inspiration. If woman who was blind, deaf and couldn't speak could help others the way she did, what can we do? Everytime I watch Miracle Worker I cry at the part where Anne Sullivan tells Helen's parents she will never give up on her. Making me tear up as we speak!

Also Helen Keller and I have the same birthday ;-)

I remember I used to read about great people who would accomplish incredible things, people who were affirming that they did not understand where their power, talent and inspiration came from, and I remember how I used to say to myself: “What is this nonsense? What does that even mean? How can they ...

Helen Keller once sad that "true happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose."

Do you know what your life purpose is?

What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? Of course, it may be very obvious, happy people are happy while unhappy people are unhappy, right?

Does this happen to anyone else? You have a problem to solve... you get mad because solving the problem isn't as easy or fast as you would like.... you yell and fuss and blame someone for being an idiot (knowing it is probably you who is the idiot) You then do something else only when you return to your problem the answer is simple and right in front of you!!!!

That was my morning! lol... so my message of today is "chill" one little step at a time..breathe .... oxygen is such a good thing... and take a break from the problem (or maybe even the person) and return. Most likely the the solution will be there.
