There are disappointments and difficulties, losses of every shape and size, and the rules continue to change so we need to keep flexing and adapting.

But I refuse to be reduced by it.” Maya Angelou “Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” Nelson Mandela “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” Helen Keller “When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves.” Viktor E.
