Today I was thinking about life, goals and dreams gone askew. I read several blogs and one that really touched my heart was “Be The Change” featuring a father’s plea for the return of a very much loved son, with advice to him as he grew through the years.

There was a post entry called “Picking Yourself Up By the Bootstraps” that asked how people handle adversity and still find the strength to go forward. I know how I handle it, you can read about it here, but what about the rest of you?

When life gives you more than you feel you can handle at the moment, what gives you the courage, the hope and the fortitude to keep going?

Your words might just be the encouragement someone else needs to keep them going today.
