"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exltation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded." _Ralph Waldo Emerson_

BEWARE!!!
I told you that I had some catching up to do for July. Well....I did it. Please check out all 3 posts below, with lots and lots of fun pictures. Leave a comment if you'd like.
I love spending time with my son, I love being a mom, I love hanging out with my husband, I love to garden and watch things grow, I love being a nurse, I just love children, I love to camp and hike and explore, I love to strech my physical limits, I love to read a good book, I love to clean (yes it's true), I love to learn new things about the human body, heck I just like learning new things, I really love life....BUT all of these things pale in comparison to the one thing I love the most, He calls me friend...my God and my savior Jesus. I love to talk and learn and meditate on Him. I don't think I can really express enough my love for Him. After all he is the creator of all those things mentioned above, and I know he takes pleasure in watching us enjoy them.
