Minds are like parachutes,

They only function when they are open.

When we take the time to appreciate what we have around us,
We are lucky to be in that moment.
I have been lucky enough to meet some wonderful people along my journey in this life.
Recently, I have been blessed with being in touch with old friends and family members... some from a time gone past.
May your days be filled with such nice experiences as well.
-Makani Lew

Here's one of our Favorite poems:

I made myself a snowball, as perfect as can be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for its head.
But then last night it ran away, but first it wet the bed.
By Shel Silverstein in his book (pg 11): Falling Up!
