If I had my child to raise all over again,
I’d build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I’d finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I’d take more hikes and fly more kites.
I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I’d do more hugging and less tugging.

While sitting here trying to decide what to name my new blog, I glanced at the sign over my front door. It reads " Live a Good Life. And in the end, it's not the years in a life, it's the life in the years." I guess it is a quote from Abraham Lincoln. This blog will try to mainly be focussed on everything that I think is good/interesting/funny in life.
