A note from LoveLetterist:
In the room I painted over the weekend I came across a series of books written by Kathryn Lasky -- Wolves of the Beyond.
I cracked the first one open while eating lunch and couldn't put it down.
I remembered reading the story with the kid.
I marveled at how the author challenges with vocabulary and concepts.
I was astounded to find the books are deemed fit for children ages 8-12.
We are often capable of so much more than we think we are?
Choose your hard?
And your fun?
What's challenging you?

Tal’s observation that hard tasks are hard is a life lesson that can serve us well. Otherwise, commitment and stick-to-it-ive-ness would have no place. Make no sense.
The JK quote you selected was a great fit to the post! Once again, LoveLetterist, you knocked this one out of the park. And I’m not talking Whiffle Ball. 😊
