Ahhhh...Summer
Did you know they're only 40 calories.One of Summer's little miracles.
"Dog's lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware it comes with an unbearable price. Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illisions we allow ourselves and for the mistakes we make because of those illusions."

Words To Live By
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

What is it about a bomb pop that says summer?
You da bomb!
Shhhh! We don't want everyone to remember how much fun it is to ride our bikes and eat a bomb pop. Everyone will want to have that smile on their face. When Barb and I were at Carr Hall at KSU to get some ice cream, a young girl asked another girl how she could sign up for the rowing team. The girl's mother said she may not have time to row and maintain her studies in Honor's Pre-med. See what kind of person you rowers attract. It's those pesky nerds that look great and are smart. Dang I hate it when that happens. MUD
