Run the Mile You're In....eventually the finish line will arrive.

        In today's newletter The Morning Shakeout, Coach Mario Fraioli talks about how this pandemic is like running a marathon.  

 I know: It’s hard to hang in there when everything hurts and you just want the damn thing to be done, but it’s more important than ever to run the mile you’re in, so to speak, control what you can control, make good decisions, respect the people around you, and remind yourself that, eventually, the finish line will arrive.

“Persist, pivot, or concede. It’s up to us, our choice every time.”
—Matthew McConaughey, Greenlights

Happy Diwali

 Diwali is a festival of lights mainly celebrated by Hindus. The festival usually lasts five days and celebrated during the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika (between mid-October and mid-November). One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance"
