It's safe to assume that my lack of posting means that i fell off the horse. I'm not going to try and make posts for the final few days. It wasn't pretty. Fell back to my old ways. Unsure what happened. I just gave up.
Needless to say, this is something that will be a work in progress. I'm not going to simply give up completely. I have work to do. Having such difficulty with a challenge really helps expose my weaknesses and let's me know which areas deserve more attention.
Nothing is a failure if you learn from it. I learn more in failure than i do in success. Don't be afraid to fail. Don't make that an easy excuse to quit, either.
