"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid. Confused. Without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us would rather turn around and go back. But once in awhile people push on to something better-something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because it's only when you're tested that you discover who you truly are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work, faith and belief, and beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead."

I have no idea who said that, but a friend of mine shared it with me a couple years ago when I was going through a bad time and I happened to come accross it saved in a file on my computer.

It couldn't be more fitting and helpful to me now.

I really want a pink iguana. They were just discovered recently in the Galapagos Islands. What a cutie right?!
