Remember the story of the little engine that could? The little engine had to get a huge load up a huge hill. It seemed impossible but he kept trying and as he tried he said, I think I can. I think I can, until finally he made it.

I often feel like that little engine with one unfortunate difference. I hear another voice trying to cancel out my I think I can refrain. It is the insidious little voice of the conductor whispering, No you cant. No you cant. And her voice sounds an awful lot like mine.
