On New Years Day, we went to Hike Up Douglas Springs Trail. Frankly, I didn't think we would make it as far as we did. I had to work at 4pm and we didn't get rolling until almost 1300.
We made it past all the hard climbs, then sat down and had a snack before we had to turn back.
Ethan kept up with Emily the whole way and Abigail kept trooping all the way up.
Abigail has it harder than the rest of us, because she has no sensation in part of her feet and her muscles are not fully developed in her legs. Nonetheless, she wouldn't stop and she made a climb that I have have seen grown men fail on wobbly legs.
So, since we didn't make it all the way to the springs, we are going to try again today.
Press On
Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.
Talent will not;
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not;
Unrewarded genius is almost legendary;
Education will not;
The world is full of educated derelicts.
Perseverance and Determination alone are omnipotent.
- President Calvin Coolidge
