In a world that seems determined to leave us feeling powerless, in regards to everything from Government infighting to Global Warming, we can often feel out of our depth to make a difference.

If I personally look too long at all the things I cannot fix, it leaves me feeling discouraged. If I get discouraged, then I find myself slowing down to look in that pet store window for way too long, so to speak.
