As the daily grind unfolds, I find there’s always time to stop, to stare, and become grateful once again, as new life adventures unfold.
The week began with the early arrival of Gianni James, the newest addition to the Bennett household. Many Congratulations to Maria and Brett, in welcoming Gianni to the world, Today, is dedicated to your new family. Enjoy this new chapter in your lives!
You both remind me of the following, Thank You, you are like me, now, in the Arena of Life 😊
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.“ – THEODORE ROOSEVELT
