BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZAS

It's that time of year again! For Wayne Nielson's birthday we all met up at Marie Callendar's for a birthday dinner (his birthday was February 15th). Gone are the days when we get together for celebrations ON someone's birthday. It takes manipulating schedules, and sometimes it happens weeks later, but we still make sure it happens........

For Shane Shimada's birthday (it was on March 2nd) we had a surprise birthday party for him in the way that only Shane would appreciate.....Karaoke style!!! Happy Birthday, Shimada!

QUOTABLE QUOTES

"Don't ever be afraid to let yourself go. Dream high. Shoot for the moon. If you miss it, reach out and grab a star."

"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Ghandi

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

"Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves to them demand-free and asking for nothing but their company." -Milan Kundera 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'.....I'd also like to give a shout out to Brooke Hart for introducing me to this quote.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

LIFE'S LESSONS STILL BEING LEARNED...

1. The gospel doesn't make our lives perfect, but it gives us a perfect perspective

2. We don't necessarily have to change friends when we realize and accept that our friends are going to change

3. Things are usually better in the morning, but sometimes they're better the very same day with the right people in your life

4. There are certain things that I shouldn't have to, and won't put up with

5. There are a thousand reasons to be happy every day

6. Your trials may not appear as significant as someone else's, but they're still yours, so don't feel like you have to make them insignificant

7. I can get through anything with the support of family and friends that love me and want nothing but good things for me

8. The world is full of endless possibilities for adventures and joy

9. God knows me - and loves me - and is my greatest advocate in this world

10. You should never take advantage of a meaningful friendship, of a good dessert, of the little things that make you smile, of the positive effects of others around you, of simple comforts, and of the blessings in your life on a daily basis
