I agree. Thanks, you too!
Susan,
Very goo...Rachna,<br />I agree. Thanks, you too!<br /><br />Susan,<br />Very good point! If we all succeeded on the first try, we'd never learn anything!<br /><br />Tyrean,<br />I like the way you put that! You should be a writer! :D<br /><br />Sally,<br />Ah, see, I knew some of you would know him. :) And yes, I agree, it is oh so true!<br /><br />Nancy,<br />Hey, many of mine are too. But if we sharpen our skills, we'll eventually score! <br /><br />Joylene,<br />I knew you would get the hockey thing! Miss watching my guys play. Sounds like fun - seeing them on the lake! :)<br /><br />Terri,<br />I am glad to be of help. It's been a motivator for me too!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-24155374726214395142011-11-18T14:36:59.594-05:002011-11-18T14:36:59.594-05:00I love it Karen!

I even had the pleasure of watching my son, my grandson and their entire team play hockey on the lake in front of our house. I watched most of the game from my computer desk. Hockey is part of my culture and always elicits wonderful memories. Like the first time we realized a small town boy from Alberta was destined to be the best hockey player of my sons' generation. <br /><br />It's not just about the gifts we're given, but the challenge of accepting them. How would we know if we don't try? <br /><br />Great post, Karen.Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-80617312961186691582011-11-18T13:13:51.624-05:002011-11-18T13:13:51.624-05:00Great advice.

Inventors try many versions of their product before they work (Thomas Edison for one), and researchers use clinical trials to see if a new drug/treatment is effective.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

We make our own choices and pave our own paths. If faith is there to guide you, then that's the only thing, I believe it is going to do: guide you. Choice will not be made for you.<br /><br />Great food for thought!Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.com
