Quote of the Day:
"We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can to is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our Attitudes."
-Charles R. Swindoll
