Boy, Chris! That could almost be their motto or credo, eh? I LOVE this quote, Huggy! When it comes down to it, it's ALL any of us have control over in our lives. We can plan and work and strive and think we have our futures all mapped out, then Fate throws us a curve ball, and the only thing we can control is how we respond. Curl up and quit? Lie about and whinge? Or forge ahead and do the best we can. (I vote for the last one!)

Thanks for a good one to add to my collection!
