Twenty years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn't do

than by the ones you did do, So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails. Dream. Discover.

-Mark Twain

Linking up to Maaret for the final post of the year!

Be kind whenever possible.  It is always possible.

-Dalai Lama

Santa is kind whenever possible.

This kiddo believes in Santa.  He was just pleased to sit with Santa and tell him his Christmas wishes.

This kiddo did not think Santa was so kind. :-)  

Wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas filled with kindness, peace, love, and happiness!

We are not rich by what we possess but rather by what we can do without.

-Immanuel Kent

To be honest I have no idea what this quote might mean.  

So, instead of pondering for hours I decided to post a picture that I feel makes me a rich lady!

My Boys.  I love them.  They make my heart full.  

When my heart is full, I feel rich. 

Rich with love, contentedness, happiness.

Your own problems disappear when you devote your attention to the problems of others.

-Unknown

A lot of times problems don't seem so large, when you get out and enjoy God's creation.

These are a few recent photos from our weekend in Salt Lake City.  We spent a few hours at the Great Salt Lake.  It is a beautiful place!

Only a few more weeks left. Head over to Maaret.

It is not the length of life, but depth of life.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our annual christmas tree hunt up in the Flattops wilderness area.

The fresh air, snow and quality family time are all what increase depth in our lives.

Always remember to fall asleep with a dream and wake with a purpose.

-Unknown

I love watching my boys sleep.

The calm and quiet around them, calms me.

Their little lips just poofed out perfectly.

Their light snoring.

Everything.

I know they will wake with a purpose and the calm that was there, may disappear. Or may not.

The most important things in life aren't things.

-Quoted in bulletin of The First Christian Church in Fairfield, Illinois

A pretty important part of life, are those good buddies.  

These two boys have a pretty special friendship. 

 I love watching them together.  

They are comfortable hanging out like this.  Each doing their own thing and b.s.ing while they do.  They will hang out mere inches apart, and not be bothered by it.  

They aren't  too "old" to swap back scratches or flat out have a good laugh!

They enjoy each other for who they are.
