Today was a beautiful day. (Made lovelier by the local boy’s win on American Idol.) And on days like this I am trying to develop the habit of thinking back to a tough day, week, or month, and giving thanks for the things and people that helped me get from there to a lovely day like today.  This evening, during a similar thought process, I got to wondering…

What do you do when the only way to make it through a day is to gut it out?  What keeps you from falling apart?  What brings you strength of mind and body?  What gives you the mental stamina to endure?

I’ll be back tomorrow Friday someday with my answer(s).  In the meantime, please share yours.  I look forward to your contribution, example, and advice.
