 March 11, 2013 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
Yes, you can do it. Whatever it is that you are struggling with right now, please know that struggle is the precursor to progress. Winston Churchill once said: "The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." This can be applied to so much in our lives. That being said, enjoy the 52 and sunny today because Spring has just a bit more struggling to do till She thinks She can, She thinks She can....
Blue skies, Donna Bennett
