Tuesday's Thought

One of my favorite quotes is really a song on the muppets:

Just One Person by The Muppets

If just one person believes in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough, believes in you...
Hard enough, and long enough,
It stands to reason, that someone else will think
"If he can do it, I can do it."

Making it: two whole people, who believe in you
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you.
Hard enough and long enough
There's bound to be some other person who
Believes in making it a threesome,
Making it three.....
People you can say: believe in me.....

And if three whole people,
Why not -- four?
And if four whole people,
Why not--more, and
more, and
more....

And when all those people,
Believe in you,
Deep enough, and strong enough,
Believe in you...
Hard enough, and long enough

It stands to reason that you yourself will
Start to see what everybody sees in
You...

And maybe even you,
Can believe in you... too!

Here the Muppets sing the song as a tribute to Jim Henson:

Collin's 11th Birthday Dinner

We all went to dinner to celebrate Collin's birthday on April's birthday...so we celebrated both of them...April - long distance.

Collin loves sushi so we went to Simply Sushi. I love sushi and it was pretty good, but I told Collin that I would take him to some REALLY good sushi the next time we have a Collin-Weekend.

It's stange to see him at the age of eleven...I remember being eleven years old and it was a tough year...one of my tougest as a kid. I am committed to help Collin (and the other kids) through a rough patch in their lives.

Here are a few of the pictures of the kids:
Sweet little Marcus:
Tough kid Andrew:
The amazing Elise:

The most awesome 11 year old I know! Collin:

Tuesday's Thought

THOUGHTS OF A CHAMPION

Although I am only one in a million, I am somebody and that makes me as good as the next person.

There is nothing in this life I cannot do. There is no goal I cannot tackle and have success.

If I feel deep down inside that something is important to me, then I can do it! If my mind can conceive it and believe it, then I know I can achieve it.

No longer will I drift through life feeling sorry for myself, because self-pity is the seed of destruction. I will search for my goal with enough hard work, total commitment, determination, dedication, and self sacrifice, that I know I will reach it.

I know that there will be many times when it will seem that all odds are against me and I will have to fight one battle after another, but I will not give up!
