“The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come.”  James Whitcomb Riley

Never give up, Never give in.

OK, so, the discouragement has started to come. First externally from people who I thought were supportive, then internally when I think of all that must be accomplished to achieve the end goal. Perhaps the most daunting is the idea of selling my house. Not the actual ACT of selling the house, but the idea of it. Of everything that must be prepared, hiring a realtor, sorting through things to keep vs. things to discard, deciding where to put the stuff that is kept. Wow, so much to think of. Luckily I have my sweetheart by my side keeping my feet on the ground and my head above the horizon, my eyes to the future.
