Quote of the day: "When you have actions that you can continue to do then you can keep moving, and as long as you get up and put one foot in front of the other, and you start doing something, you will eventually come out of it, but if you stand still, if you stand in the story instead of on the story you won't go anywhere."  -Sonji Millet
