When confronted with challenge number 1 ~ to make a blog, I felt dizzy and thought “well there I go out the proverbial door”.   But my parental voices played in my head.  I could hear my mother saying, ” Lela Exonar, you give up too easily.  When the going gets tough, you quit “!  Sigh.  Yes we all have them.  So for days and days I worked to figure it out.  One night, with the deadline approaching, I was miserable and went to bed with the task seemingly undone.  When I awakened to find that I had indeed succeeded, I jumped around my office like a little girl.  See mom, I thought, I am NOT a quitter!  Thank you, MRI, I love proving my mother wrong, even just in my own head.
