*** Good Morning ***
The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life.

I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like
Aaron's rod, with flowers.
~ Helen Keller (1880-1968) American Writer.
