Determination. Grit. Achieving Goals. Lots of quotes today about staying the course and accomplishing things, and I can add my actions this morning to that same list. I cleaned out two jelly jars of the same type of jelly in the refrigerator this morning. Setting goals and accomplishing them. That is what winning looks like.
Lunch Box Quotes are notes I typically include in the kids’ lunches every day. Since Number 1 is off in college and Number 2 is skipping lunch now (he trying to cut weight for lacrosse), they both get a text. Both 3 and 4 get handwritten notes on napkins.

There’s a beautiful phrase that says: “What we give doesn’t always return, but what we give is always what we are.” And that hits hard. https://t.co/AyArNOAk87
