Perseverance

"The real glory is being knocked to your knees 
and then coming back. 
That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it."

Vince Lombardi



Spending the evening having a glass of champagne 
with my hubby and playing scrabble. 
Celebrate the moments of life....


Enjoy the Journey!

    I love a year off with pay. Good for you!

    I read this last night but didn't take the time to read the scrabble board. It is that lack of attention to detail that keeps kicking me out of V-Nav!

    Glad your back in the game.

      It's all about the attention to detail! Life is good... all about perspective. Never left the game, just focusing on research for the game. :) Hope you make through Sunday!

    Karlene, I am speechless yet I knew all along, deep down, that the skies could not go on without your strong sense of morals, ethics, perseverance, and commitment in them. My deepest congratulations to you and here is to new adventures ahead! Cheers!
