One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts- just mere thoughts- are as powerful as electric batteries- as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison.

If you let it stay there after it has got you in you may never get over it as long as you live.

~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.
