An interesting story I received today in my email. Most people are amazed by the accomplishment of successful people and some would say that these people are so lucky and they must be very smart and talented people. Yet more often than not, these successful people are but just ordinary people like you and I. They just believe in having the big picture and taking one step at a time in moving towards that big picture. When most people are resting, they are preparing and ploughing in the field.



Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mother, you must come to see the daffodils before they are over"



I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. "I will come next Tuesday", I promised a little reluctantly on her third call.



Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and reluctantly I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house I was welcomed by the joyful sounds of happy children. I delightedly hugged and greeted my grandchildren.



"Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in these clouds and fog,and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see badly enough to drive another inch!"
