When Everything Seems Impossible

"I can't believe that!" said Alice.

"Can't you?" the queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again, draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe impossible things."

"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

~Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

Sometimes everything seems impossible. Impossible that you will make it through one more day at work, impossible that all your bills will get paid, impossible that you will find Mr. Right, impossible that you can lose the weight, give up smoking, give up drinking, give up chocolate, insert vice of choice here________.

Right now I have so many things going on in my life that seem impossible, but if I close my eyes and take a deep breath a sense of calm comes over me and it all suddenly seems very possible. So I decided to create this blog as an outlet for me to lay all of the impossible things out before me and maybe examine other people's impossible things and how with a little faith we make them happen.
