<<Don't *lower* your expectations, just *change* them. :-) Don't accept failure. Accept that your playing field isn't exactly what you thought it was going to be. You might have to walk when you'd rather run....but you'll get there. Like the HUMMER commercial with the little kid in the wooden hummer. He doesn't follow the traditional path but he still wins. I dont' think any of us is following a traditional path (but really what is traditional?). I really do think that we see more than most people, we learn more than most. We care more than most. And even though we OFTEN don't feel it.....I think we are TOUGHER than most.:-)
