The Little Engine That Could, a children's Golden Book from, oh, maybe the 1940's, came right to mind when I saw these cards unfold. Metal and Wood...again! That's two times in about a week, I think and it's just not the easiest of pairings...but it's always worth the effort.

Keep trying. Just keep trying. This may be something unfamiliar, difficult or unpleasant you're moving through but, A) you are moving through it, and , you'll be a much wiser and stronger person when you do.

And no matter what anyone tells you, do it your way. Be nice, be polite and consider their ideas by all means, but in the end, respect your unique ability to know what's right for you.

Happy new year!
