Stumbling, Bumbling, Fumbling

Any of you who were lucky enough to know my mother, know that she was not a very idle person. She was always on the go and always had all kinds of ideas and thoughts rolling around in that beautiful little head of hers. I am thrilled to say that she instilled this fabulous character trait into each and every one of her children. I have brothers who write, brothers who build, brothers who play music, brothers who teach, brothers who inspire, brothers who are always at the ready to assist other people, and of course, there's me! Most of you already know what my insane little life is all about! And I love it!

Charles F. Kettering once said:
Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble onto something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling onto something sitting down.

What a fabulous statement! You will never know what you are truly amazing at unless you step out, in faith, and give it a shot. And I think the "stumbling" is part of the process. Getting to where you want to go may not always be the easiest thing in the world. There are mountains to climb over, pits to wade through, and always obstacles in your way causing you to trip, tumble, and taste defeat. But it is those individuals who persevere that make a difference . . . both to themselves and to those around them.

So, as Chris Berman might say, be that "stumbling, bumbling, fumbling" person who "could go . . . all . . . the . . . way".
