“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” As if there were another option! But there is. The way each of us respond when a storm hits differs. You can hide under the covers and grieve allowing yourself to become paralyzed, or you can rev up the engine and fight fiercely to get through the storm. 

You cannot imagine yourself out of a rut, you have to move, to get up and try with all your might to make it, not only through the storm, but make it safely to the next one, because storms will always happen.
