RB'S QOTD: February 4, 2011: What do you do to turn the tide when you find discouragement, defeat or despair trying encroach upon you???

What do you do to turn the tide when you find discouragement, defeat or despair trying encroach upon you?

“In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to. Little things usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind-in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved. No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles. When they are lighted, darkness goes away-and a touch of wonder remains.”
