It kind of reminds me of every professional sports interview that I've ever heard: "We need to take things one game at a time..." In life, I suppose, we need to to the same. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here and have a great weekend! Hi Lori: I like several of ER's quotes, but this quote that was in my planner really struck me and a big part of it was because the phrase that you mention. Yeah, we tend to make things more dreadful that they end up...I know I have. So reading this quote is very comforting and re-assuring. Have an awesome weekend!

I hadn't read this one prior to today and I love it. I read the quote several times, and each time I gravitated to the phrase, "...seeing it not as dreadful as it appeared,..." That's a biggie for me. Once I get started on something I didn't think would be enjoyable, it's never as bad as I anticipated. Thanks, Tim! Hi Tim,

That’s a biggie for me. Once I get started on something I didn’t think would be enjoyable, it’s never as bad as I anticipated.

Thanks, Tim!

When we break it down, though, into smaller steps...it ends up being much more doable! Great reminder from a very wise Ms. Roosevelt! Tim,
