May I add that in times of stress and exhaustion myself, I've quoted those favorite Robert Frost verses to myself to keep going. Inspirational, but one of the most beautiful of poems on its own. The woods are lovely, dark and deep.... Who sets up a scene better than that?!

And I truly believe President Obama is one of the strongest persons I've ever known of - partly because he knows the source of that strength.
