Genealogy and History Fan

About six months ago I seemed to be hitting one brick wall after another when it came to genealogy. So I had to change my way of thinking and I saw my family history with new eyes and a fresh new attitude. Suddenly I was blessed with records and new info from many places. So remember:

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is odd with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns.

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won if he’d stuck it out.

Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow -

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor’s cup,

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are -

It may be near when it seems afar:

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -

It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.
