One of my favorite quotes is, “You only fail if you fail to try.” Or, as Yoda says, “Do or do not. There is no try.”
We need to encourage each other at all times to do our best and be our best selves.
Have a blessed day!
Don’t know if this was a quote from anyone other than my Dad, but he always told me …”if you don’t have time to do something right the first time, you won’t have the time to do it over either.” I try to always remember that and when I do I always think of my Dad. He’s been gone for for 25 years and I still miss hearing him say that!
Everything happens for a reason.
This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us,..to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves, to act in such a way that some part if us lives on. ~ Oswald Spengler, German Philosopher

My mom.
I have been a fan of Erma Bombeck and Mary Jane for many years. I live with my daughter, son-in-law, and 27 month old grandson. Last year at 21 months old he was diagnosed with a golf ball sized brain tumor. He had brain surgery on August 11, 2016. We believed the tumor was gone but when he had an MRI in December it showed the thing was growing back. He is currently undergoing an 18 month long protocol of chemo therapy. My beautiful daughter has dealt with these obstacles with grace and hope. She has started an informational blog to help other families of children with cancer. Her blog is called, “Navigating the Impossible.” She is making “Lemonade out of lemons.” I would like to win the sign for her. I would purchase it for her but our finances have taken a huge hit. I hope that I can give this to her as blessing. Thank you. M.K.Hook

You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on a sundae.
You know, as long as the ones you love are happy and healthy everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.

It is what it is. My BIL says this all the time and now we say it. Of course there are lots of others we say but won’t come to my mind right now. Thanks. I love the magazine. Haven’t had a chance to look at it for the current issue. Next on the agenda!
