Relationships
"Why didn’t it matter more to love well? Where did I think I really would find happiness?
And I wonder if it’s the fact that relationships don’t bring us paychecks, rarely accolades.
Loving well, stepping over hurt, laying aside self and desires, draws on more of our interior resources than investing in a career, a skill, a personal pursuit. And yet, there are no promotions. No public status. No guarantees.
Relationships grow only in a hot house of of humility, selflessness, open-handedness. Hard things that are inherently risky: for all that, you can’t control the outcome.
Investing in relationships requires courage. It mandates daily fortitude and intentionality to make moment by moment decisions to prioritize relationships while balancing vocational demands.
Do my daily decisions support my belief that relationship is the essence of reality?"

Pictures-Farm Day!
The monkies and I decided last week we needed to visit "Jacob's Farm" one last time before he moves on to his new job.....*sniff*
Perfect day for a picnic!
we left BabyMonkey home with Daddy....if you give a mouse a cookie, he will ask for a glass of milk......if you give Aubrie a dump truck and rocks.....she will sit and play allllllllllll day ;)
and then when she gets bored with that, she will go inside and go to her new favorite spot ;)Monday, July 4, 2011
Hatred & Love
"Hatred paralyses life; love releases it.
Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
