Just a little something I got from TOPS last night... thought I'd share.
If you think you are beaten, you are;
if you think you dare not, you don't
if you like to win but thinnk you can't
it's almost a cinch you won't
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
for out in the world we find
success begins with a fellow's will
it's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're out-classed, you are
you've got to think high to rise;
you've got to be sure for yourself before you can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or the faster man;
but sooner or later the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can.

I almost didn't go to my meeting last night, it was elections, and I THOUGHT I gained, with PMS and all, and I thought to myself, NO, I am not going out like that, if I gained, I gained... and lo and behold... even though my hands are swollen to the point of not being able to wear my rings... I lost 2 pounds
but, the thinking almost got me...
