"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Look Out...

What is new? The Fountain Hills community has a new pedestrian! This little determined mind doesn't want to hold his mom's hand and he is up and down the street all by himself. So, watch out for the new traffic!!!


This little brave mind is also not afraid of anything. If he collapses or falls, he just gets up and walks again! He just enjoys his new freedom so much!
Mom read from a toddler book and found this paragraph: "Keeping up with the toddler's whims can drive parents 'up a tree' during this time. Some years ago a noted athlete tried to keep up with the gross-motor actions of a walking toddler. He literally fell apart by midday and gave up following the child about." This is sooooooo true. If I collapse on my butt 10 times a day, I will be totally disable by the end of the day. If I fall down on my knees only once, I am probably disable right then.
