An Inspirational Quote from Fred Rogers aka Mr. Rogers

I'm Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers
I am reading "I'm Proud of You: Life Lessons Learned by My Friend Fred Rogers" by Tim Madigan and it chronicles his friendship with THE Mr. Rogers.

On, page 49 of the book, Mr. Rogers has written Tim a letter and he writes about a day where he had trouble getting home because of a huge rainstorm that knocked down a bunch of trees and blocked the roads, so it took Mr. Rogers over an hour to drive what is normally a seven minute trip. And, about it Mr. Rogers said: "You can choose to let this bother you or let this be an adventure and welcome the challenge." 

So, I say - hats off to new adventures and welcome the challenges! Hey, Mr. Rogers said so!!! And, what an inspiring quote...especially when the challenges are starting to seem like a hassle! It's an adventure! Bring it on!
