Just a Thought...or two!


I have been getting a daily thought email for the past while and I have been saving my favorites to post here. I finally got to it, so here it goes....some of my favorite recent thoughts:



Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter.
— Bono


Love is not blind — it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.
— Rabbi Julius Gordon


Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.
— Eleanor Roosevelt


It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
— Henry David Thoreau


Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.

Shasta!





Okay...we have gone and done it. We have moved up a phase (or across, however you want to look at it) in this 'game of life'! We have added a puppy to our family. Her name is Shasta and is 12 weeks old. The kids absolutely adore her. We were at the animal shelter just browsing and thinking about adopting a dog and a man brought in 3 puppies to donate that he couldn't keep. Well, we went outside to look at them and ended up taking one before he gave the rest over to the animal shelter. So she ended up being free, which is GREAT! She seems to be a terrier mix of some sort. But she is cute and she is still a little nervous about her surroundings. But she really warmed up to Adam when he came home from work. He is her best friend. She is really growing on me, which is REAL big because most of you know, I am not a big dog person. But I guess people can change. :)
