Principles of Life

For the last few weeks I have been on a spring cleaning rampage - cleaning out my closet, cleaning out my office, just cleaning out my house!

If it is not being used or will not be used in the future - out it goes!

This has also given me the opportunity to read notes I have taken over the years and articles I have saved. Today I came across this gem and wanted to file it away in my virtual space and share....

Principles of Life

Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is.

You would achieve more, if you don't mind who gets the credit

When everything else is lost, the FUTURE still remains.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything.

If you do little things well, you will do big things better.

Only thing that comes to you without effort is old age.

You won't get a second change to make a first impression.

Only those who do nothing do not make mistakes.

If you are not failing, you are not taking enough risks.

There are two kinds of failures: Those who think and never do, and those who do and never think.

Pick battles big enough that matter, small enough to win.

All progress has resulted from unpopular decisions.

Change your THOUGHTS and you change YOUR world.

Management is doing things right. LEADERSHIP is doing the right things.

Friendship founded on business is always better than business founded on friendship.

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –

Our Day at Children's

Hello all, Kelsey and I spent the morning at Children's Hopsital in Seattle today, what a place! They sure do a good job of trying to make the kids feel comfortable...part of me didn't even feel like I was at a hospital. We met with a Cardiologist, Dr. Vernon, and a Paranaetologist, Dr. Holmgren (yes, Mike Holmgren's daughter). Both of them were very nice and extremely informational. Dr. Vernon did confirm that Mason has HLHS and is a candidate for the Fontan Operations, which are the three stage surgeries he will have to go through to get his heart working as normal as possible. Kelsey and I have been talking about where we would want to do the surgeries in case we weren't comfortable with Seattle Children's. We knew going in that Children's in Seattle is one of the premeir hospitals in the country, but weren't sure how they were compared to other hospital's like University of Michigan with this particular heart disease. I'm glad to say that w

Wordy Wednesday or Wordless Wednesday????

The big question of the day should I be wordy or wordless on Wednesday? If I go WORDY a post might have quotes such as: - When you are through changing you are through - It takes both rain and shuneshine to make a rainbow - If a care is too small to be turned into a prayeer, it is too small to be made into a burden - We make our plans, but the Lord determines out steps. Proverbs 16:19 - The world at its worst needs a church at its best - The essence of generosity is self-sacrifice - Philanthrophy, like chartity must begin at home - A reject opportunity to give is a lost opportunity to recieve If I go WORDLESS I could share my life through photos... Message me, facebook me, call me, leave a comment or talk to me in person either way let me know your thoughts...
