A picture of that was painted in the University of West Florida’s league opener against West Alabama on Saturday night at PenAir Field.

Life is tough and the tough keep going. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down; it matters how many times you get up. Just when you think you have given your all, give a little more. Always do one more rep. Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. There are lots of quotes about working harder, keeping going, but who is letting our younger generation know that there is light on the other side of the tunnel or that it often gets worse, right before it gets better? I spend time with a lot of young adults. I have four that grew up in our home, and I work with quite a few. It seems that many have forgotten or were not taught that you have to take the good with the bad. All the things that our parents told us when we were growing up. Or, at least mine did. My parents went through the great depression and WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Nixon resigning and more. They were a hearty bunch and had been through a lot of disappointment and pain. However, it made them into the awesome people that they were. As a matter of fact, my mom passed away a year ago next week.
