When Your Kid Makes a Mess, You Are Doing Something Right!

Kid's need to be creative. In order to be creative, they need to be allowed to make a mess. This is what happens when you let a kid be a kid:

Dinosaur Digestion

Just for the record, this is how long it will take a dinosaur to digest my daughter's body:

How long would it take for a Tyrannosaurus Rex to digest your corpse?

To view a the dino-art stylings of my daughter and my husband visit: Shaka Studios Fine Custom Furniture: Dinosaur Under Glass.

Enjoy!

Grandpa & Dorothy


This photo was taken 10 years ago! Grandpa passed away a few months ago and this was the last time I saw him. My dad is in the background. So there are two Grandpa's for the price of one in the picture!

Law of the Garbage Truck

The following was sent to me in an email from my friend Clare. It's good stuff!

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day .. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so... love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a blessed, garbage-free day!
