2. Always remember...you are a somebody, God didn't take the time to create a nobody.
3. Always smile, you never know whose day you might be making.
4. Never 'forget' to say hi to anyone, never miss the chance to laugh or smile, never get too caught up in yourself that you forget to help others.
5. Never forget that you aren't the only one with problems, and most of all...never forget that when you feel like you only have one friend, that friend will remind you of all the others.
6. If you forget about all the bad things in life, the good will take over.
7. If fear is staring you in the face, close your eyes so you don't have to look at it.
8. Be yourself, you can't be anyone else...The best you can be is you!

free spirits

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and behave like
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable."

Catchin' Frogs

My Momma and her little friends (Courtney and Logan) went frog catchin' at the pond! They ended up with a few green guys! I remember doing this for hours when I was their age! I was such a tomboy:)

Happy Canada Day!

I am lucky enough to be spending Canada Day with a few of my close friends! But it will be an early night because I am heading to Dawson City at 7am tomorrow morning to visit my Hunny!!! So exciting!!! I can't wait!!! I will share some photos when I return! I will be landing in Whitehorse and traveling around the Yukon a bit-this should be interesting because it is daylight 24 hours a day and Ryan says that it's really cold at night but hot during the days!!! We are renting a cabin and I think Ryan has a surprise planned which requires a passport....
Have a lovely Canada Day!!!
