If you cannot do great things,

do small things in a great way.

Napoleon Hill

Success is not a

destination

that you reach.

Success is the quality

of your journey.

FEBRUARY 2009

You have got to

take the good with the bad,

smile with the sad,

love what you've got,

and remember what you had.

Always forgive,

but never forget.

Learn from mistakes,

but never regret.

Don't be content with average,

because average is

just as close to the bottom

as it is to the top

Danielle Ballentine

Winnie in March 2009:

Even when you've played

the game of your life,

it's the feeling of teamwork

that you'll remember.

You'll forget the plays,

the shots, and the scores,

but you'll never forget

your teammates.

APRIL 2009

If you're walking

down the right path,

and you're willing

to keep walking,

eventually you'll

make progress.

Change will not come

if we wait for

some other person

or some other time.

We are the ones

we've been waiting for.

We are the change

that we seek.

Barack Obama

MAY 2009 Cory in April 2009:

People may forget

what you said,

they may forget

what you did,

but they will

always remember

how you made

them feel.

JUNE 2009

Life should NOT be

a journey to the grave

with the intention

of arriving safely

in an attractive and

well preserved body,

but rather to

skid in sideways,

Chardonnay in one hand,

chocolate in the other,

body thoroughly used up,

totally worn out

and screaming

”WOO HOO,

What a Ride”

Let’s not do it your way or my way;

let’s do it the best way.

Time is what we want most,

but what we use worst.

Cory and Winnie in the mountains in August 2009

Agility is like playing the piano.

First you must learn to play by the rules.

Then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.

Candy in October 2009 (> 13 years old)

You are

what you are and

where you are

because of

what’s gone

into your mind.

You can change

what you are,

you can change

where you are,

by changing

what goes

into your mind.

Zig Ziglar

Winnie in October 2009:

In any moment of decision

the best thing you can do is the right thing,

the next best thing is the wrong thing,

and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
