You only find the full measure of your
capability, to love and perseverance through challenge and struggle when you
discover your inner spirit.

 Foreword
Kerry,
Keep up your good work. Your energy and efforts remind me of a short
sentiment that was written in a birthday card for my brother's twenty-first
way back in 1969. I copied it to memory and to paper but lost the
paper and now have lost some of the memory for it (although I just
found the full text on the internet!) - It has fortified me for most
of my adult life - for many years I had it above my desk and in my
wallet - way before Desiderata became popular!
I believe it was written by an American philosopher/poet, Wilfred
Petersen although it is sometimes attributed to "anonymous".....anyway:-
" Create mental pictures of your goals, then work to make those pictures
become realities.
Exercise your God-given power to choose your own direction and influence
your own destiny and try to decide wisely and well.
Have the daring to open doors to new experiences and to step boldly
forth to explore strange horizons.
Be unafraid of new ideas, new theories and new philosophies.
Have the curiosity to experiment... to test and try new ways of
living and thinking.
Recognize that the only ceiling life has is the one you give it
and come to realize that you are surrounded by infinite possibilities
for growth and achievement.
Keep your heart young and your expectations high and never allow
your dreams to die."
Stay forever young and continue your crusade for children - I was
astounded at the inhumanity of the terrorists in Russia - it brought
back to me the tears I shed over man's inhumanity to man which I
experienced when I visited the remnants of the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint
Charlie in May this year.
Stay strong, stay focussed and believe in the future.
regards and best wishes
