Celebrate the human spirit . . . .

Here's to those who press on regardless. The pioneers. The leaders. The survivors. The big-thinkers. The innovators. The action-takers. The peacemakers. The adventurers. The movers. The shakers. They're the embodiment of the human spirit. Their bold vision, leaps of faith, steely determination and passionate causes have molded and created our world.

The human spirit may not be something we can see, but its power and beauty are all around us. It is courage overcoming fear, it is right besting wrong, and it is faith rising above doubt. It is indomitable, illuminating, invigorating and imaginative......and it is at the core of all the great accomplishments in the history of humanity.

Every day the human spirit influences and reshapes our world. It makes new discoveries, gives hope and redefines what's possible. It inspires us to do and be more. Look around and celebrate it!
