Believing Quote by Susan Noyes Anderson
““Keep the Faith Sometimes I'd like to be the type who lives my life without a backward glance – then I would dance through days unburdened, fancy-free. Instead, I'm me. You know, the one who counts the cracks on every wall and then recounts them backwards lest it fall (knowing full well the chances are it will). Still, I have moments when I just let go – then I stop counting cracks and count on faith. You ask if the wall falls? Surprise! It's safe.””
