Comments!!

My wife has a quote she loves. We have summed a bible verse, which one I'm not sure anymore, into a phrase we use around here, "steady plodding". I could describe it as basically putting one foot in front of the other, long after you thought about quitting, trusting that sooner or later you'll see that you have, indeed, made progress even though at the moment, and perhaps for many moments before, you felt like you were simply walking in circles. Of course, if you finally realized that you had been walking in circles, the realization itself could serve as the progress you have indeed managed to make, and would prepare you to do something else, say, walk in a square...

Anyways, I've had this site since February (ironically, since before I got my job at a certain gas station I quit working at once before). Now I'm poised to work at a gas station, and take classes in college working on my computer engineering degree. It's been nearly half a year, or perhaps it has been half a year since I've been leaving little 'encouraging' thoughts online here, and finally, today, I got online to find that my work has indeed left an impression upon, well, at least two people. That's wonderful news! I think my wife would agree that indeed, though for half a year or so it would have appeared that even though I mentioned this site to different people here and there, nobody saw it, or indeed, had nothing special to say about it to the creator. I'm one of those people who if I see something I like, I want to tell the people who had a hand in making it happen, or building it, or whatever. I wish I had a bank account large enough I could reward people I think are doing a good job. Perhaps in the future. Speaking of which, it is long overdue for me to get another set of Golden Fuzion coins to share with the world locally.

Steady plodding makes me think of the very first post I made. Never Give Up. Sometimes even when we see nothing happening, it doesn't mean we are not getting something done, it just means that perhaps the effects are too small to notice at first, and that given enough time, we just might see a little magic. That should encourage us to keep plodding, and look forward to seeing even more magic later! I hope all of your ventures will grow great and mighty, and that your life will become more and more what you hope and dream it will be.
