Staying the Course - Checking for Gravel in your shoe

Excerpts taken from "Just Thoughts of a Plain Country Woman"  April 7, 1949, The Collinsville News. 

" . . . . .   one needs a change occasionally-needs to stand off and look at what he has from afar off, then he can see,  if he is too discouraged, .   . .  that it isn't the hill he is trying to climb that is too difficult, but the gravel in his shoe, that makes the climbing unbearable.

We need to sit down, shake out our shoes occasionally,  take  a fresh start.. . . . "

Note:  Isn't this too true?  It's not the big stuff that gets you down. . .  it's the small irritant that really gets to you.  So, Mrs. Morrow was right, sit down, shake out your "gravel" and you will be able tackle the big tasks with renewed vigor and much less irritation.  How long has it been since you sat down and shook out your shoe?
