Some decisions

I have got to schedule my ACE exam by January 18. I can push it out till May, possibly even later by next month. My problem comes into play with how soon do I want to take it and feel ready to do it and pass. I would love to have it done and be CPT before my 60th birthday which is April 22. However, on March 22, I am running a half Marathon. My first one ever in Utah, with Michelle and Cheri. I would like to take the test before going but not to sure I would have enough time to keep studying it all and pass. I really do not want to fail and have to do it over again. Think I am going to take this next month and just really hit those books. The other side of it is to wait till May to take it and have the time to really hit those books again and again. Is it really important to be to have it finished before I turn 60? That seems to be my main question.

In Memory

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!””Gone where?”Gone from my sight.
That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: ‘Here she comes!”
And that is dying.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT Author unknown
