you can't tell how strong she is
until you put her in hot water."

    I wondered where you were going with that "bag" comment! haha

    Really, we are one of the strongest things on earth aren't we? Hope you aren't having the kind of day that puts this saying to the test.

    I've heard that quote attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, and she is a woman I've always admired.

    Pat ~ I couldn't find who said the quote, so thanks for that info. It doesn't surprise me at all that Eleanor Roosevelt said it! :)

    I just keep praying I pass the test each day as I feel deeper and deeper in hotter and hotter water. Sounds depressing, I know. It's been one of those days. I'll have to remember the tea bag. Thanks!!!!!
