Tentative holds no power. - Bear Grylls

Tents don't repair themselves. Neither do relationships. Fix the small rips before the next storm hits.

Whether it is the wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, family or friends, so often those closest to us are the ones who get the worst of us. It is as if we feel that they are the only ones we can be grumpy with, and we save our best for our guests or for work. But this is a recipe for struggle. The smart man and woman save the best for those they love. If we show our loved ones the most gratitude every day, then life will smile on us in return. Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude: three words to help you thrive. Trust me.

A challenge that tested Tom to his limit but in return gave him more than he could ever have imagined.
