On Making Mistakes

My workout yesterday consisted of unloading the equipment from the truck and carrying it to the porch. Fifty feet max. Right now I feel like I could easily never workout again.


"Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure?" ~ Og Mandino


"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it." ~ W.C. Fields

I love that W.C. Fields quote. It's meant to be funny, but there's a lot of truth in that quote. There is wisdom in knowing when to walk away...knowing when it's just not working. Sometimes quitting is the hardest thing to do.

Hope you're enjoying your time at the cabin. I'm counting down my escape to the spa on May 30.
