Daily Inspiration: Troubles are usually the brooms and shovels that smooth the road to a good man's fortune. ~St. Basil

Today’s Affirmation: I say “thank you” to my challenges; each one is a promise of my success.

Today's Contemplation: All challenges and troubles come about because we have a desire to grow, to create and celebrate.  It is our dreams that draw to us the circumstances of growth and because those circumstances are a stretch they tend to first look like problems.  So I choose to celebrate my challenges as much as my victories.
