Charles Schultz Philosophy

Greetings from Logan!

This was sent to me by Dave Allart a STS. It rings true to my heart and I thought that everyone would enjoy it.

Love, Dad

=========
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.


How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish.. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.



Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.

'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.' (Charles Schultz)

wow

Oh my gosh Emily I didn't even know that ya'll were expecting again. Are you going to let anyone else in the family have kids? *wink* Congrats.

Baili- Gage looks so big and handsome!

To everyone- I'm sure that you all have heard by now but Rick was promoted to Sergeant recently (finally) and is doing well with his new position and rank. but he's ready to come home..we still have 9 months to go but things are moving along well enough.
This deployment has been "easier" than the last considering we get to talk a lot more. All is well here...The cats and I are happy as can be.



I just got back from camping high in the mountains for a weekend (up near Hartzel- the reported heart of Colorado.) We took a day trip into South Park (ya it's a real place) becuase someone didn't bring enough "mountain money" a.k.a- toilet paper. It's a pretty little town though and it was really cold at night!!!! (I think I had just finished digging the fire pits behind me and someone snapped a pic)
The sun came out and we got out our archery stuff (I have a bow, arrows and a target) and I taught everyone how to shoot. Some did better than others but we had a great time. We even got snowed on. :P We tired ourselves out gathering firewood and chopping it and ended up with a pile of wood as tall as me. We had good food and day executions to the surrounding hill tops and creeks. It was a good time..we just have to remember to go a little later next year.
Hope all is well with everyone.

It's another boy!

We had the big official ultrasound yesterday and much to our surprise - IT'S A BOY! We are very excited, but some of us (especially me) were very, very sure this was a girl. So much for that gut instinct!!! So - any good boy names out there that you're willing to share???? I'm sure he'll be a carbon copy of the other boys - we'll know hopefully the middle of October, although official due date isn't until the 25th.

Gage

Gage is growing like a weed! He has mastered rolling around and is very animated in his emotions. He is very social and enjoys Emily's neighbor kids very much! They all call him Gagie and try to make him smile every chance that they get.
