Somehow I can't remember one of my closest friend's birthdays (sorry Madge) but I will always recall Feb 12th as the birthdate of Number 16 himself. It may be because as the daughter of Illinoians, Abraham Lincoln topped the list of my household's idols. I think there is a longer post to write about the nuanced reverence my family has towards Mr. Lincoln, but today I'll just leave you with this serious photo and a Classic Lincoln quote I will meditate on as I strive to get through mounds of homework and studying in the name of one day being a great PA:
"Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed"
Look for something and you will find it, I think Abe would agree.
