Stormy Night

October is turning out to be the month of quotes and poems.  This morning, the news reminded me what it was like to arrive back to my house two days after the flood, and then two years later, arrive to my apartment the day after the tornado.  The aftermath can be as overwhelming as the event.  Eleanor Roosevelt was on my mind, so for Tuesday inspiration:

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
       - Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm a fan.  Good luck to you facing big fears and post-storm waters today.
