Soon I'll likely stop referencing the Lake but alot of stuff happens on a ten day vacation.
My new and very wise friend from the Lake, the infamous Sharon Love, gave me tremendous food for thought one afternoon.
She said, "You can't help what people think of you and it's not even any of your business."
Words to live by, don't you think?
I see this gem of a saying as being right up there with Ghandi's "Live as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever."
Although, I think what Ghandi meant to say was, "The point is not to arrive at the pearly gates looking pretty and perfectly preserved. Rather, strive to skid in broadside, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, "Wow! Now, that was an incredible ride!"
He likely did not want people to know he was prone to skidding.
Pictured is not the infamous Sharon Love, but another Lake friend, Linda. Both women are already seasoned skidders. But, someone still ought to check that the pearly gates are still standing once they skid through. ;)
