Stress...

It's been a stressful past few months.
As I was reading "If Life Were Easy, It Wouldn't Be Hard" by Sheri Dew; I came upon a quote that I had forgotten from my American History days. It's a great rally together your courage quote:
"Theses are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country, but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly."
-Thomas Paine

I also loved the quote. Guess lots of us live in the land of stress. Was this quote from Common Sense? Very applicble in all our lives. Hope the pressure cooker lowers a bit for you.
