Hi Everyone! Sitting here at the Sandbox at 5:30 AM and wishing you
were here. Perhaps a little too early in the morning and you are all busy
getting a strong start to the day with that first cup of java. Just thinking
about the many challenges so many people are facing today. Going to
check out a few quotes, say a few prayers, and find my way home. Have
a really nice Sunday. Miss you... ~Jane

"Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help
you discover who you are." ~Bernice Johnson Reagon
"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems
most challenging." ~Joseph Campbell
"I've been motivated by overcoming challenge and overcoming the hurdles
and obstacles that face me. There is still plenty out there to get motivated by."
~Andre Agassi
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience
of trial and suffering can the Soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and
success achieved." ~Helen Keller
"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them;
everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into
a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through
it, or work around it." ~Michael Jordan
"If you're going through hell, keep going." ~Winston Churchill
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people
who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
~Dale Carnegie
" History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually
encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won
because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats." ~B.C. Forbes
" Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body."
~Seneca the Younger
"To be successful you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can't
just accept the ones you like." ~Mike Kafka
"I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've
failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."
~Michael Jordon
" The way I see it, if you want the RAINBOW,
You gotta put up with the RAIN." ~Dolly Parton

Good morning Jane. Not great weather in Chicago but what are you going to do? Stay in! As for my favorite quote:
"Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are."

Hi Wayne Martin, the main thing right now is you stay sheltered at home and as much as you can tolerate. I have a large family here in Florida - many of my 9 children live in Florida within a few miles of me. We are keeping social distancing in mind and text and call often. Hope you have a nice day, my good friend. Greet the Chicago day for me, please. I love Central Florida and the Orlando area, but I still miss my old Chicago haunts -- for instance, Greektown and an Ouzo, a serving of Greek style Skirt Steak, a piece of Baklava...a walk past my old schools, Roosevelt University and Loyola by the Water Tower...and...and...and. Ha ha. Yes, wishing you a great day!
Thanks for shring. I love this quote:
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience
of trial and suffering can the Soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and
success achieved." ~Helen Keller

I am always awake at 5:30 a.m., but of course, I am in a different time zone and that is 7:30 a.m. for you I think.

Hello Jane - once again, a thoughtful and thought-provoking collection of quotes. As I recall, I believe I first became familiar with Joseph Campbell in either elementary or junior high school and his words seem to remain relevant.
