I recently was reading a chapter from a book and was reminded of what my parents always told me. It's sometimes easier to do the wrong thing, but it's always better to do the right thing. Our integrity matters more than our reputation because we cannot control what others think of us . . . and that is our reputation. But our honesty and integrity does help dictate our reputation. That is in our control . . . and what really does matter is how we take care of the little things day in and day out, when you think no one is watching. Because someone always is and for sure God is . . .
Since I last posted a picture of me and Lauren, I wanted to post one of me and Allie. This was taken by a dear friend at a baby shower. Its fun to live near Allie because we sometimes get to go to the same parties!! We both wished Lauren lived closer so we could see her more often!
I had a little get-away down to Laguna to hang with Lauren. Sure miss her and wish we could see her more often! Anyway, this is a picture of us at one of our favorite places in Corona del Mar.
I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, friend & most importantly a follower of Christ. I love to garden, read, cook, walk, go to the gym, scuba dive, spend time with my grandson and my family, and volunteer in 3rd world countries doing medical work. If I could pick one place to live it would be anywhere near the ocean . . . a warm ocean would be the best!
