March 21, 2009
Okay, so I haven't been very good at keeping my blog updated but I saw this picture tag on a friends blog and thought it would be fun!
Here are the rules:
1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder
3) Explain the picture
4) Tag 4 people to do the same

This picture is so funny ~ the cats never sleep on the piano but I happened to change some things around after the holidays and put the fox that was up in the boys bedroom there. One evening when we sat down to watch t.v. we looked over to find meeko sound asleep. I took a bazillion pictures of him and he did not wake up for nothing ~ I think he must of been dreaming it was his mama :-) ha ha

I tag ~ Crystal, Paige, Racheal and Kristin

Gordon B. Hinckley
"I conclude by assuring you that even with all I see, I am an optimist...Believe in others. Don't go around tearing people down. The Lord doesn't want that. He doesn't want us to spend our time destroying others. He expects us to build and sustain and cultivate and nurture and strengthen our associates. Wonderful things happen when you go forth with that kind of attitude."

“Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself… Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us.” (Marvin J. Ashton, “The Tongue is a Sharp Sword,” Ensign, May 1992, p. 19.)

"If you set out to be less than what you are capable of being, I warn you, you will be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life."

The Power Of Attitude
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results."
