Inspired by...

We--all of us--have been made for goodness. We have been made for laughter. We have been made for caring, sharing, for compassion for we do indeed inhabit a moral universe. Yes, goodness is powerful.

Desmond Tutu

. . .

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition...to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived: this is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

. . .

Love shared anywhere transforms situations everywhere. Your life is your corner of the garden; tend to that and you tend to the world

Marianne Williamson

This guy

is the birthday boy today

pulled pork sandwiches, blueberry pie, presents, and snow tubing.

He's a gem. And I'm a lucky girl.

1. love the paisley shirt, the swiped over bangs, and the freckles.

2. volunteering to help teach middle schoolers mock trial and negotiation skills 

3. more tributes and lovey-doveyness here and here

Sweet fancy moses, does Sam look like his daddy or what???? It's like they are twins, separated at birth.

Happy birthday, G. You're one of the good ones!

Oh my goodness I thought you were going to say it was your son's birthday and show an updated pic of him - was I ever surprised to see it was your hubby! They are twins!!

I know, isn't it awesome? Sam and G are carbon copies in many ways. It makes me smile.

And Christie "sweet fancy Moses" is officially my new catchphrase. :)

I thought you had dressed Sam up for some kind of 70's themed party or something! It's amazing how alike they look. Happy Birthday to your hubby. Hope he has a great birthday. Enjoy the tubing and the blueberry pie.

That shirt is sweet, and he does look like your son!

Mock trials, moot court, some people were made for them, I get all uncomfortable and sweaty. Good thing there are people who like to do that stuff.
