I Think I Can....

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can….I remember my dad reading the book, The Little Engine That Could, over and over to my sister and I when we were young!  These famous words are still my favorite today and have always helped me overcome and push through trying times! I feel like this week these words have been my saving grace! 

We are exactly two weeks away from the end of the school year!  2 weeks – I think I can.  Our school is making some changes for next year - I think I can. I have an interview this week for my next and final Masters - I KNOW I can.

In two weeks my “I think I can” will change to an “I KNEW I could”.  Until then some good old positive thinking and comfort food will have to do!
