When I was a little girl, I loved reading, The Little Engine That Could. That little train was expected to do the same work as the big guys, even though the was so small.He struggled and he struggled until a new engine came up to him and said, "Hey buddy, where's the best place to grab a lunch around here-My treat if you can show me.".The small engine led the way. While they talked during lunch, the small guy mentioned how hard the work was and he felt that everyone was doing better that he was, and maybe he should give it up. The new engine,named Kyle, explained the other guy that from where he worked he could see everyone. He said everyone goes through those jitters. Another new member, Vince, overheard what they were saying. While he was rubbing new oil on the track below him he told them both that he thought he would get fired. But it all worked out fine, and now there was a baby on the way. Kyle was so excited-his wife was hoping for a cute little trolley, but Kyle wanted the next huge Amtrak that came along. While he tuned them out, he was becoming successful. Now he was excitied! This new engine convinced him that he certainly wold be able to do those big jobs.

Many times I could still hear somd cheer for the train, until one day I realized, the whole community was cheering for the train. They didn't do the work for him, but simply cheered him on and you could have heard the cheering miles away.

And that's how I feel I about this community. We have Kyle and Carson cheering us on, but certainly not doing the work for us. It's the same for all the members here.Jude. When you read the blogs and discussions you'll know it too. I wish you the very best success-Jude Spear
