Seriously, folks, those 3 months FLEW BY! Busy with community meetings, needs assessments, project planning, a trip stateside for PA school interviews (going to OHSU!), grant writing. Yesterday I gave a talk on HIV/AIDS to a women's group, focusing on fidelity, the correct use of the condom, and getting a test during pregnancy, and I thought about how different I am and how much has changed since December 2009. A year ago I tried to lead some HIV/AIDS activities with my coworkers at the Health Center and passed out red ribbons on World AIDS Day (December 1st, folks, December 1st)...but how much has changed since then!
Working on raising funds for the floor project. Still a ways off from our goal, but there are a couple of quotes that are really keeping me going these days.
"Failure is impossible." Susan B. Anthony
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genuis is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is filled with educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are along omnipotent. 'Press on!' has been and always will be the answer to every human problem." Calvin Coolidge
PRESS ON, indeed!
