ATTACK OF THE FLYING EASTER BUNNIES!
Life is all about traditions and traditions are what holiday's are all about! Our front porch always sets the tone for the holiday to come. Spring ribbons and flying bunnies-- winter is finally over. The air is getting warm and the flowers are pushing up through the earth. Hope for a new beginning!
The spring colors and the thoughts of flying Easter bunnies just seems to put a smile on my face! Easter traditions are great family times together. Easter egg hunts, coconut covered bunny cakes with big paper ears and licorice whiskers, whiffle-ball games, jello eggs, potato salad and flying bunnies!Life is all about things and stuff, but it is mostly about traditions and family times together.

-You might notice that the theme for my new reading list happens to be based on the Willie/Martin Handcart Companies. Why? Because I am the Trek Master for our Stake Trek next year. I will be looking for suggestions, but until then I will be reading as much history as I can...

Life is all about things and stuff...
my epitaph?
Still reading for inspiration.....
Some of the things I have learned so far... some from the book and some from experience.
Hers......
1. Be Michael.
2. Act the way I want to feel.
3. Do what ought to be done and do it now (now is the hard part!).
4. Lighten up!
Mine......
1. "It is what it is"
2. Pay it forward (goes with #3).
3. Karma is so real!! What goes around comes around.
4. Hand signals don't help.
More "stuff" I have learned from Gretchen ! !
Hugs are important when bonding with those you love. However, a quick 'hug, hug, kiss, kiss' is not usually enough time to make a real connection. Six seconds "is the minimum time necessary to promote the flow of oxygen and seretonin, the mood-boosting chemicals that promote bonding." Try it. Test it out. Six seconds is really not very long but you will be amazed at the change it can bring about in your life. Hug you kids... they will respond. Hug your spouse... they will respond also. Try it for a week without telling anyone what you are doing. See if you can tell the difference. Let me know how it works for you.
