Busy Rachel

Time for a post about Rachel! She just got home from California late last night, she was gone with her high school Madrigal Choir for five days, we missed her! She had a great time, she took tons of pictures and videos, it was fun this morning hearing all about her adventures, and receiving gifts and souveneirs she brought home for the family. So glad she got to go, and had such a fun time. She loves her choir.

The other love of her life is lacrosse. She carries her lacrosse stick nearly everywhere she goes. This is her second year of playing on the high school team, she is getting really good. Before she decided to join the team I had no idea what lacrosse was, and had never seen a game. I posted all about it here. Below are some current pictures of her latest game.

Say "YES"!

My Creed

*To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

*To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

*To make all my associates feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

*To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

*To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

*To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

*To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

*To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

*To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

*To be too secure for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

*To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in small deeds.

*To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
