Daily inspiration

Congratulations Coast to Coast Team!: You are half way there. " IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT. As you stare at the road endlessly today think of that quick thought. Lance did it. So can you!! If pride could be registered as light right now, I would be like the brightest star in the sky shining over you both right now. I have chosen an inspirational thought for you today called, "It's Simply Great", which is exactly what the team is doing. Enjoy your day in the light.

It's great to be alive, and be
A part of all that's going on;
To live and work and feel and see
Life lived each day from early dawn;
To rise and with the morning light
Go forth until the hours grow late,
Then joyously return at night
And rest from honest toil-its great!
It's great to be a living part
Of all the surging world alive,
And lend a hand in field and mart,
To live and earn and dare to do,
Nor ever shirk or deviate
From course or purpose we pursue!
Until the goal is won-it's great!
It's great to realize that we
Are of a latent power possessed
To be what we are willed to be,
And equal unto any test;
That of ourselves we may achieve
To worthy deeds and high estate,
If we but in our powers believe
It can and will be done-it's great!
It's great and wonderful to know
That all we will to grow we'll grow,
And reach the mark we have to view,
To know that we're a vital part
Of all that is, nor hesitate
With all of skill and mind and heart
To work and win- it's simply great!

The team is simply great!!!!Love Diane, Skylar and Brooklyn
