Brian Kelley</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This seemed a fitting quote to tie into the post, especially when you said you don't do misery:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.&amp;quot; - from Rocky Balboa&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: A Turning Point</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2010/03/02/a-turning-point.aspx#22760</link><pubDate>Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:28:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:22760</guid><dc:creator>Karen Lopez</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for taking the time to share these thoughts. &amp;nbsp;Great free advice that's been paid fo ;). &lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
