When Silence Speaks...

Tools ready; Link removal in progress Yesterday was a day well spent. To start with, I almost did a Ph.D on Tire pressure, what should be ideal psi for cold weather (Yeah it snowed in Denver and my Jeeps psi indicator started blinking showing low pressure).  I thought that was my achievement, but No.  Links removed!!Yayy!! Perfect Fit!! Complete Satisfaction :D I had got a new watch for myself and as usual they were a little large for my wrist. So I was wondering where to go to get it resized, I did a google search to find a watch repair store near me.

Or useless pain, the sort of pain that's only suffering. I have no patience for useless things. Moments like this will require someone who will act, who will do the unpleasant thing, the necessary thing. There. No more pain.  True. I cannot agree more to this viewpoint.  It's left to our intelligence to choose the kind of pain we have to bear and the duration we need to suffer and the manner in which we choose to endure the pain. Everything is in our hands.  The sort of pain that makes us stronger, physical/emotional/mental, no matter which one, is always good. It's food for enhancing our strengths and abilities further.
