Parasailing is Awesome!!!

Just got back from camping and Lake Tahoe, and all I can say is parasailing rocks! I got to go to Lake Tahoe and go out on this speed boat and then I went up parasailing! I got to about 600 feet! It was so much fun! You can see the entire Lake Tahoe area from that height and it was a beautiful sunny day with the sunlight reflecting off of the deep blue water of the lake! AWESOME!!!

The Best Graduation Advice I Was Given

This is actually a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, but I'd have to rank it up there with the best advice I've gotten over the past few weeks:

Success:

To laugh often and much;

to win the respect of intelligent people

and affection of children; to earn the

appreciation of honest critics and

endure the betrayal of false friends;

to appreciate beauty, to find the best

in others; to leave the world a bit

better, whether by a healthy child,

a garden patch or a redeemed

social condition; to know even

one life has breathed easier because

you have lived. That is to have succeeded.
