You have got to
take the good with the bad,
smile with the sad,
love what you've got,
and remember what you had.
Always forgive,
but never forget.
Learn from mistakes,
but never regret.

Don't be content with average,
because average is

Candy (and Winnie) 17th April 2009:
Even when you've played
the game of your life,
it's the feeling of teamwork
that you'll remember.
You'll forget the plays,
the shots, and the scores,
but you'll never forget
your teammates.
Deborah Palmore

6. MAY 2009 Cory in April 2009:
If you're walking
down the right path,
and you're willing
to keep walking,
eventually you'll
make progress.
Change will not come
if we wait for
some other person
or some other time.
We are the ones
we've been waiting for.
We are the change
that we seek.
Barack Obama

People may forget
what you said,
they may forget
what you did,
but they will
always remember
how you made
them feel.

8. JULY 2009 Candy 13 years old 13th June 2009:
Life should NOT be
a journey to the grave
with the intention
of arriving safely
in an attractive and
well preserved body,
but rather to
skid in sideways,
Chardonnay in one hand,
chocolate in the other,
body thoroughly used up,
totally worn out
and screaming
”WOO HOO,
What a Ride”

9. Let’s not do it your way or my way;

Then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.

Winnie in October 2009:
You are
what you are and
where you are
because of
what’s gone
into your mind.
You can change
what you are,
you can change
where you are,
by changing
what goes
into your mind.
Zig Ziglar

13. In any moment of decision
DECEMBER 2009
the best thing you can do is the right thing,
the next best thing is the wrong thing,
and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
