Determination Was There

Oh, my dear man, I've done my best
To go on without you here by my side
It hasn't always been that easy
But, I think I have done just fine
I have managed to get back up on my feet
The determination was there from the start
I never let anything get the best of me
Although there were times when I felt
There just was no use in even trying
I would always manage to tell myself
Just hang on a little bit longer
After all, tomorrow is another day
Through all my trials and errors
I have managed to make it through
And, I did it all, WITHOUT YOU

Thatta girl, gal !!!

Yeppers, and baby, look at you now! As I was reading, I was picturing you as Scarlett O'Hara in the scene from "Gone With the Wind" where she raises her fist up to the heavens and declares "As God is my witness I will never be hungry again!”

I sense the same determination in your words!

Love to you!
Linda

Now, that's true power, dear Sue. You have done it. I would not doubt you to succeed though!

This is a great encouragement for those who find themselves in some similar situation!

Love and hugs.
