It empties today of its strength. ~Corrie ten Boom
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher (thank you beadinglady)

I am grateful for:
Moving forward with Adoption 2017!
1) I am grateful for my one little embie fighting like a Champ to make it home tomorrow.
2) I am thankful for having a boss that is willing to bend over backwards to cover for me through all this and has never been anything but supportive.
3) Happy I still have a half a box of Girl Scout cookies upstairs waiting for my bedrest tomorrow.
We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.
