reach.

Posted on August 10, 2018 by beth

grandies

jump in.

get dirty.

fall down.

and

reach again

even higher.

“jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty,

fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.”

Ahhhh, the children. If more of us could learn from the children, we would be so much healthier, and happy! You do a great job of bringing us back to that truth.
