The lesson of five balls

I just finished a good, easy to read book. One part of the book stood out to me, so I thought I would share this lasting life lesson.

The lasting lesson in Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas is the story of five balls. In it Life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. Every day you keep them all in the air. Then you come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls are made of glass. When dropped, they will probably shatter.

How are you taking care of your glass balls? Are you struggling to keep them in the air? Have a few already shattered and you are trying to glue the pieces back together? Do you take care of your rubber ball and neglect the rest?

Just remember to cherish everyday and live like it is your last day here.

Getting up to speed

Here is the quick of it. Andrew and I met in Tahoe, fell in love, moved to Hilton Head, South Carolina, married, moved to Park City. That's us in a nutshell. We have been living in Park City Utah for about 18 months and we have a beautiful family. Ok, so it isn't the typical family like most people think of, but our four legged loves will do for now. It's our family, and that's what matters.

We have Sammy, a three year old OCD Tabby cat. Cali, a three year old Black and White chunk of love. Last but not least, the most recent addition, Lille. Our mutt, who is on Prozac cause she loves us to much. We think she is a Labbe, a mix between a Labrador and a beagle. It's just a guess, we may never know for sure. But it sure is fun guessing.

Sharing, a lesson for everyone

A wise man once said,

"Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing, love ends when you stop caring, friendship ends when you stop sharing…so share this with whom ever you consider a friend."

Andrew and I share everything with each other, sodas, candy, dinner, laughs, hugs, kisses ever tears. We know we move around a lot and are very hard to keep up with. This is our attempt to stay in touch with our loved ones. Enjoy!
