The Decisive Element

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is in my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides weather a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."


 - J. W von Goethe

Please, take a second and think about it.  The earth will thank you!

New hobby

Crocheting:  process of creating fabric from yarn with a crochet hook.  It consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops.  A hobby my family claims only those over the age of 60 should be doing.  I disagree.

Thanks to Tim and Kerin for patiently teaching me!

Ultimate favorite food

Lefse

Lefse is a traditional Norwegian flatbread.  Made out of potatoes, the main food group in Norway!  Typically eaten with butter and sugar, rolled like a pinwheel to be devoured.

Try it today or during your next holiday celebration!  You won't be disappointed!

Texas

When in Texas, head to a ranch!
