Thought for the Day  

“...to have a crisis and act upon it is one thing. To dwell in perpetual crisis is another.” -Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Life is challenging at times and can present unexpected crises. How do we handle ourselves in crisis? Do we jump into action to resolve or lessen the impact or do we dwell, get stuck, and never recover? We must take action in our lives, with whatever is presented, and know that challenges and crises are temporary. In moments of crisis, turn to what gives you strength and comfort and stay focused on a positive outcome...this can be the greatest action.

Today, whatever comes, act and move forward.
