Perseverance: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc. Especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.This week's post is dedicated to my little nephew Huddy. He has been given a word: perseverance. I have found in my short life, that it is a necessary quality to get you through the rough little crappy dying patches of grass in the course of life. 

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Hudson and his first real meeting with Eddie the dog.He will have struggles to overcome, just as we all do, and I hope he continues to push throughout his life.

When the world says, "Give up",

Hope whispers, "Try it one more time". "
