"Always be pure, simple and honest." Yogi, Ginger Tea

Sage advice, yet seldom taken.  In this day and age of technology it's rare to have downtime from TV's, iPods, cell phones etc.  It's rare to spend time out of doors walking in the trees.  It's rare to find someone who won't spin the truth to fit their purpose.  When you run across someone who has one or all of these qualities, its like a breath of fresh air.  You may not be able to put a finger on it, but you know something is different.

Pure--Honest--Simple

"Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up."
   ~~Chinese Proverb.

Who has not failed?  Really?  I know that I have lots of times.  When I look back at the past, I don't regret the failures as much as I do giving up.  Hindsight being 20/20, you know after you quit just how close you were to being successful.  Granted, there are times when you have to stop some activity for your own health or sanity.  Mostly, I have stopped just because I am tired of the repetition or because I convince myself that if I take a break I will start back up.  Seriously.  What a bad idea.

Keep going.  Keep moving forward.  Each day you will be closer to succeeding. When you fall, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, take a deep breath and don't stop.

" Together we can do what we can never do alone."

My family has been going through some tough stuff recently.  One of the truths we have been profoundly struck by is that we can do anything if we stick together.  Whenever tempers get hot, or personality clashes threaten to strike, I remind them that we are powerful--together.  I may be strong.  But if I add my husband, daughters and sons to the mix,  I am POWERFUL!
