Well here we are in Paris! My job so far has been to keep Toots, Sally and Lumpy from hurting themselves before the marathon. So far the injuries have been minor–one scraped knee, one set of toes stepped on and one I-almost-ran-into a pole-at-the-Louvre.
Luckily our champions made it safely out of the apartment to begin their journey.
So here are some words of encouragement:
The first and the best victory is to conquer self. –Plato
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. –Napoleon Hill
I demand more of myself than anyone else could ever expect. –Julius Irving.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and conveniences, but where he stands at times of challenge and cotroversy. –Dr. MLK, Jr.
….So run, run, run….
Everyone’s a star and deserved the right to twinkle. –Marilyn Monroe
….and remember….
If you fall flat on your face, at least you’re still moving forward. –Kelly/Balwin
