Quote of the Issue:
When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you
haven't.
Thomas Edison (1847-1931); inventor, businessman

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you know that it took Edison 10,000 tries before he met with success
in creating the working light bulb? He chose to call them tries rather than attempts or
failures. Can you imagine trying to do something 10,000 times? Not only that but Edison
was close to being broke and his help was working for free because they were loyal and
believed in what he was doing. Guess you could say it is a good thing Edison and his
associates stuck to it otherwise I would be typing this in the dark!!!
I know myself that there have been times in life when I was pretty much ready to walk away
from some things and yet I gave it one more try and met with success. Why do we stick it
out and keep going? Is it because of faith? Is it a sense or need to accomplish something
worthwhile to us? or is it that sense of purpose that comes from within? Whatever it is
that drives us to keep going in the face of challenge, I say keep going!! You will achieve
your goal if you believe in it! Just remember to keep looking up and looking at all the
possibilities, even the absurd ones. Just look at Edison!!
Until August 15th, remember all things are possible, if you believe
Karen

From: Stephi Branch Baumgartner
Kiva is an organization that makes loans to people in "underpriviledged" areas
throughout the world (including the US). Applicants ask for a loan amount, then loans are
then backed by lenders like you and me, in minimum $25 increments. This helps increase
their ability to raise their standard of living. Check out www.Kiva.org
for more info. I like that it's a helping hand, rather than a hand-out.
