Tom Petty song - "I Won't Back Down"

"The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" from the musical Little Orphan Annie

"I know that nothing is destructible; things merely change forms." --Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road

"All shall be well, all shall be well.... For there is a force of Love moving through the universe that holds us fast and will never let us go." (Dame Julian of Norwich)

For me, the uncertainty of the time has been outweighed by the uncertainty of surgery and managing my health. I am not sure this song will mean as much to others, but the song "The Story" by Brandi Carlisle captures how I feel about my husband and our relationship staying strong through this tough time.

I've been inspired by one old classic, one tried and true for me, and one newer mantra: Don't sweat the small stuff. Excellence is in the process. We're all in this together!

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

"Je ne peux pas continuer, je vais continuer." -Samuel Beckett (often translated as: "I can't go on. I'll go on.")

"Land of Confusion" by Genesis

Now did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
There burning into the night.

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Just tell me why
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and lets start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
Where we look for the future
And there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

As Confucius saying 2500 years ago and President George Busy quoted that, as a teachers we should - "No Child leaves behind".

"Planning for the fall feels like nailing jello into a wall."

"Laissez-moi danser" (Italo-Egyptian singer Dalida, who lived mainly in France). There may be a lot going on in the world, so sometimes you just have to take a break and dance.
