I love this quote.
It reminds me of some very courageous people I know who are going through difficulties. Through it all they continue to get up each day, have a positive attitude and think of others.
One of these people is my neighbor Danna.
She has cancer.
Throughout her chemo and radiation she has continued to teach her fifth grade students each day. When I visit her and ask how she is, she immediately turns the conversation around and wants to know how I am.
She continues to serve others while she has been sick.
She rarely feels sorry for herself.
She is one of my heroes.
Another is a little boy named Tyler Hallsey.
He is battling a tumor in his brain.
He is the son of Cricker Hallsey who used tend our kids and hang out with our boys, James and Tyler. This whole family is facing this trial with optimism and a fighting spirit.
You can follow Tyler's journey on his facebook page. www.facebook.com#!/whateverittakestylerhallsey.
I am also amazed by my niece Sarah. She is going through the heartbreaking issues of infertility.
As the years have gone by and as her sisters and the other nieces have had their babies, Sarah is always the first to offer to help with showers. She steps forward with lovely gifts..she always thinks of others..even though her heart is breaking.
She continues to look forward to the future with optimism and hope.

These people give me hope. They are an example of perserverance. They are the quiet ones who face each day with courage.
They show me, through their example to "try again tomorrow" to overcome difficulties and be a better person.
