Fall down seven times...
You're going to fall, you're going to fail. The trick is to learn from your mistakes and not give up. Life is a persistence game. And boy have I been persistent. Maybe stupid. Certainly stubborn. But always persistent.
I've laughed a whole lot this year. Cried a lot, too.
But, mostly - laughed.
Keep on keepin' on.
