"Believe you can and you're halfway there." ~Theodore Roosevelt~ "What? Say that again?", I repeated again as I increased the volume on the microphone headset I had over my ears.

Anxiety : Man’s Best Friend
"Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action." ~Walter Anderson~ So, the other morning, I woke up drenched and covered in sweat.
