You can always try-  I love that.  I was always told 'don't try- just do it'.  Nixon's quote makes trying sound worthwhile.  cw

Debbie,

I like this quote, "Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits."  Don't stop or quit, keep on keeping on.

Thank you ma'am.

Debbie,

Congratulations on reaching the 100K milestone.  I just noticed your level and feel that you need to be acknowledged.

You know I studied many presidents for years in school, the class wrote many articles (today those would be called post) and the all time favorites were of NIxon. He was also the one we wrote the most about even ahead of Regan. Evryone agreed I think that he was the most misunderstood of all the presidents with the exception of possibly Lincoln.

Joyce - I couldn't agree more! Nixon really was misunderstood and in history, has turned out to be a very powerful president - in a good way! Thank you for sharing!

Cheryl, Deb and James- Thank you for stopping by. Powerful words from a powerful man. . . Good distinction Cheryl - do you try or do you just do it? I think so many kids today are not encouraged to even try, much less "just do it."

Don, my friend - THANK YOU! I have not been in the Rain much this week. I had not noticed I reached the 100K mark - knew I was close, but did not know I had reached that peak.
