Winston Churchill is often quoted as saying, “If you’re going through hell, keep moving.” When I tried to look up this quote for citation, I discovered that Winston Churchill didn’t actually say it. How about that? The memes were wrong!
Today was not hell, but I had a rough night, which resulted in a quiet day of mostly sleeping. The picture below is not an actual picture of me. However, it’s pretty close to how I looked for much of the day.
So, if Winston Churchill didn’t say the statement above, who did? No one really knows. A statement similar appeared in an issue of The Christian Science Sentinel dated October 30, 1943. It appeared in an article where neither of the speakers was identified. Person One asked Person Two, how he was doing. Person Two answered back, “I’m going through hell!” Person One then replied, “Well, keep on going! That’s no place to stop!”
I am not going through hell. It was difficult to fall back asleep and stay that way, after waking up at 4:00 AM, 5:00 AM, 6:30 AM, and 7:00 AM. Finally, Sleep and I reunited! But, not for very long. Today was a day of cat naps on the sofa.
Sleeping or trying to consumed just about all of my energy. That’s why there’s not much energy left for something creative or clever. All I can say is to keep chasing your dreams! I will be doing the same!
