Semper Porro means Always Forward in Latin. It's my reminder to keep moving forward. This past year has been filled with more ups and downs than I could have imagined. Sometimes it feels like I am grinding forward without really getting anywhere. Other times it feels like ... well - actually it always feels like I am grinding along. Don't get me wrong. I am not complaining. I have so much to be thankful for. This past year was a true test though. I was knocked down (quite literally), but I picked myself back up and kept moving forward. It certainly hasn't been pretty. I am going to keep at it though. The truth is, that's pretty much my best quality - keeping at it. I am not particularly smart, or talented. I am not that good looking or rich. I've never been very popular. What I am though is relentless. Give me enough time and I will accomplish whatever it was that I set out to do. That or die trying. The irony of course is that nearly happened. But, still I am going. The truth is, a lot of times I don't want to get out of bed in the morning. I sometimes wonder if other people struggle as much as I do. Maybe that's just the human condition though. If that's the case, then we could all use the reminder to keep moving forward. Life knocks you down - you get back up and keep moving forward. That's how I choose to live my life anyway. It might not be easy, but at least I'll always know that today was better than yesterday. Semper Porro.
