...and so on,  You get the idea. Not a walk in the park.
Just like everyone else, we're each fighting our own battles.

I'm surely glad that I'm not 
a mathematician.

I'd be completely depressed at the sum total of back steps. 
Then again, maybe not. 
I try my best not to dwell 
on subtractions, 
focus only on additions.


Life lesson: 
Step out of your box.
Go forward. 
Take baby steps.
Take giant steps 
when you're up to it. 
Accept that no one knows what you'll step into until you do.
Keep dancing...
turn up the volume, kick off your shoes, sing loudly, laugh, dance!
Let it all out

Don't tally your problems. 
Count your lessons.  Learn. 
 Press onward.
Your journey, your strength, is what counts.

YOLO!

These cowboys look like the're having a blast!



I'm not a big country music fan, but this sure is a romantic idea to with your sweetie. :)
