Ella_bike

This is a photo of my little girl, Ella as she goes through the motions of learning how to ride a bike . Faced with her fears, she rests in the thought that Dad is there to help her. And with that thought she gets her strength and her confidence. Here's to her dad and all the dads who take the time to be one!

My daughter, her husband and newborn baby. My daughter, Jessica, was determined to have her baby before her husband, Matt, would ship out on the cruiser Ronald Reagan. She made it! January 1, 2005 Georgia Porter was born! Her husband, Matt shipped out the next day to the Gulf. It was wonderful and very sad at the same time.

"Between a rock and a hard place." I took this picture on the Northern California coast. It is a piece of driftwood stuck between two huge boulders. Very profound!

MOTIVATION

Quotes
What I’ve experienced is that I can’t know the future. I can’t know if anything that I do will change what happens tomorrow. I can’t know with certainty, but what I do know is if I do nothing, nothing will change.
James Orbinski Former President Of Doctors Without Borders  (born 1960);
Your journey has molded you for the greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don't think that you've lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time.
Asha Tyson Writer, Public Speaker  (born 1970);
As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.
Emmanuel Teney Professor Of Psychiatry  -
It's right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.
James Mackintosh Political Theorist  (1765-1832);
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Abraham Lincoln 16th U.S. President  (1809-1865);
