Thanks for this honest post, quite timely as I was reflecting on how I had fallen away from some of my Lenten intentions yesterday. I offer you this quote from St Francis de Sales:
"Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage."
Or, from a rather different philosophical background, Confucius said:
"Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising every time we fail."
