Quote of the Week

  
Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped.  
- African Proverb

As with many things in life, it's not where you end up so much as how you got there.

  1. Such a wonderful quote, Linda. If not, we are surely in danger of slipping up in exactly the same place all over again...

  6. Talon- Thank you. We don't really want to make the same mistakes twice, do we?

    Hilary- Thank you. That was taken in a park here in the city.

    Jannie- Yes, and everything happens for a reason.

    Sara- Thank you. I took that picture at the park last fall.

  7. So true. I keep trying to explain to my kids it's not really the outcome when something didn't work, it's the method. If we can find out where it fell apart we have a better chance of success in the future.

    They don't always get that, though.

  8. Hi Linda ... I love your park photo - no wonder you took the picture.

    It's important to know where we're going .. and as you say how we got there.

    Thanks - Hilary

  9. Cardiogirl- Sometimes you have to repeat the cycle a few times where kids are concerned. I kinda remember being a kid.

    Hilary- Thank you. It's a nice park with tables, shelters and a playground for the kids. How you get to a point sometimes is key.
