"I really don't care what people think of me. No wait, I take that back. Sometimes I get very afraid because of all the people who hate me."

Me-"What does Boots want to be?" (Boots is a character in the book)
Pearl- "A Teacher!"
Me- "Maybe I want to be a teacher when I grow up too."
Pearl- (very confused) "But you're already big!"
"The poor kids have to be smart, and the rich kids have to be dumb."

A Toast
A good friend gave me a wall hanging that says, "Each day is a gift." I think our luxury of choices in life also gives us reasons to complain. If we had nothing, absolutely nothing, and then were given only one option for a life, we would be ecstatic for that one chance, however meager. But we have everything-safety, food, health, family, friends, experiences, fun. Sometimes it's easy to think about all the things we are NOT doing rather than all the wonderful things we are doing. So.
For all the freedom we never think about,
To the opportunities we have grown to expect,
For every day we are blessed to live such lives of choice,
And for every average, normal thing about us,
Cheers.

Today is a Wonderful Day
I have found my camera that once was lost.
Tomorrow, we kill the fatted calf and upload many, many pictures so I never have to mourn those (once) lost memories again.
I have 300 pictures to upload. From before graduation in May through vacations and Wyoming all the way to Texas. I thought I had lost them all. But I found the camera! So all the memories are mine again.
Rejoice.
